Two important questions to consider in today’s message:
            What do you think of yourself?
            The more important question: What does God think of you?
In our human nature, we make the first question the most important question, the only question, what do I think of myself. But in truth, what matters most is what God thinks of me. We have to wade through the first question, because confronting our own nature is part of letting go and letting God…but we need to get to the second.

Often we pray Lord change my circumstances, but seldom do we pray, change me. The answer for Job’s suffering is not just to change his circumstances at the end of the book, he is transformed. When you are in a crisis, when you are in pain, ask the Lord to change you. May a vision of what the Lord will create in you make a powerful difference.
