I was reading to the deeper group a couple devotions from "My Upmost for His Highest" The title of both devotions was "Are you Ready to be Poured out As An Offering?"
One line that really got to me was "It is one thing to follow God's way of service if you are regarded as a hero, but quite another thing if the road marked out for you by God requires becomming a "doormat" under other people's feet."
Frankly this scares the crap out of me. Of course I have done things in the past that I haven't gotten any credit for. But I will admit that I DID complain about not getting credit for those things... if only in my own mind. As humans we want to get credit from people, even if its just one person that notices what we have done at least one person noticed. I have been challenged to let the recognition from God be enough for me. To not seek recognition from man, but just from God, knowing that He knows what I have done and is pleased, letting myself get peace from that. I have been challenged to let myself be poured out as an offering, even if its for something small and perhaps insignificant.
