It's not about you, honey!

One Sunday, a few years back, I was asked to pray for the church service. I had prayed about what to pray about, and was a little nervous, but thought I had a general idea.......until....................I went upstairs to change and was getting really upset because "I had NOTHING to wear". I threw most of my clothes on the bed , tried on a bunch and nothing looked good! It was then that I heard a voice in my heart yell at me! Laurie, it's NOT about you, honey!!!!(at least He called me honey)..... And furthermore you are displaying PRIDE and I HATE PRIDE!
Well, I didn't need to hear anymore! I said I was sorry to the Lord for being more concerned about me and how I looked, rather than honor the Lord!
I just grabbed a blouse and put in on and came downstairs. My husband is VERY unobservant about stuff like clothes, but he took one look at me and said, "you're kind of wrinkly" (I was wearing a linen blouse) but I just said It's not about me" and
off we went to church.
Just before I went up to pray, the song Heart of worship" came on and I thanked God for doubly reminding me .there's a line in the song that says, I'm coming back to the heart of worship and it's all about You, it's all about YOU, JESUS". So when I went up to pray I was able to share why I was "wrinkled"...... and was able to share that when I am in heaven I will be without "spot OR WRINKLE"! Thank you, God you are so good!!
