There are times where one fins something that accurately addresses and issue/thought that was happening inside oneself. A couple of days ago, Oswald hit it for me. Pretty much the whole Nov. 10 date (which, interestingly, is somewhat different online than the book I have) is solid, but, I’ll just quote a bit:
If you seek great things for yourself, thinking, “God has called me for this and for that,” you barricade God from using you. As long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions, you cannot be completely aligned or identified with God’s interests. This can only be accomplished by giving up all of your personal plans once and for all, and by allowing God to take you directly into His purpose for the world. Your understanding of your ways must also be surrendered, because they are now the ways of the Lord.
