I explained to someone the other day that I don't mind being the center of attention but I really don't like being at the center of attention. Does that make sense? I don't mind being the one leading the roast; I really don't like being the one roasted.
Needless to say, though, I recently had one of those instances when I was at the center of attention. I won't go into great details other than to say that I received induction into a select society. I am not worthy of that distinction, nor will I ever be. The only way to become a member of this select society is to be nominated and elected by current members. Once again, I am most undeserving but humbled by their allowing me admittance.
I was sharing with someone after the "induction ceremony" that there are so many more deserving folks and that I am truly humbled and amazed at their acceptance of me. This person said, "It really doesn't matter what you think. What matters is what your peers think. They think you are deserving, and that is all that matters.
Today's word is something that I came across that emphasizes that thought spiritually. I don't know who it is attributed to originally but I really like it. It says, "What GOD KNOWS about me is infinitely more important than what others think about me."
There are those who think I am worthless as the day is long, and they may be right. Yet, it doesn't matter what they THINK. What does matter is what GOD KNOWS. GOD knows my heart, my motivation, my dedication, my desire, my commitment. He knows that I accepted JESUS as my SAVIOR and that His blood makes me worthy enough to be His son.
In the end, it really doesn't matter what you think or what anyone else thinks. What matters is what GOD KNOWS.
Be Blessed,
