Perspective

I'm realizing that focusing on my self has hindered me from hearing Gods voice, and my ability to be used by him. I'm realizing more and more what I have always known, that times of trial or pain or seemingly unjust suffering is usually a way of being refined, assigned, and used for the glory of God. Our perspective must change. God is trying to get our attention. The first thought should be "speak Lord for your servant is listening". Not "why me, why now, this is not fair....". I am seeing this unfold in my life in an amazing way. I am beginning to see that perspective is key, it changes everything! Wow. I pray that God will give me his perspective more and more.
