It's not about...

Today a friend left a copy of some encouraging words in my mailbox shoot at the school. Considering the wild mixture of emotions and thoughts running through me I have chosen to share the words of encouragement here - perhaps typing them out will help settle my soul.

"It's not about following our career path

It's about following His call upon our lives.

(Matt. 16:24)

It's not about our self-efforts to live for Him;

It's about letting Him live His life in us.

(Gal. 2:20)

It's not about our attempts at self-improvement;

It's about His transforming grace.

(2Cor. 5:17)

It's not about our self-image;

Its' about being conformed to his image.

(Rom.8:29)

It's not about wanting the approval of others;

It's about having His approval.

(2 tim. 2:15)"
