"My Own Little World"

"Father break my heart for what breaks Yours. Give me open hands and open doors. Put Your Light in my eyes and let me see, That my own little world is not about me. What if there’s a bigger picture? What if I’m missing out? What if there’s a greater purpose That I could be living right now? I dont want to miss what matters. I wanna be reaching out. Show me the greater purpose. So I can start living right now, Outside my own little world." ("My Own Little World" - Matthew West) So today I was thinking about this one situation that inconveniences me. While I can't give the entire story, let's just say that I was not having very Christian-like thoughts about this situation and how I wish I had nothing to do with it. The reason it inconveniences me is not because of anyone's doing. There is nothing anyone can do. However, because this situation makes my life more difficult, I automatically think selfish thoughts about how much easier my life would be without it and get mad because this is something I am "stuck with." What if I thought about it from another point of view? What if, instead of griping and complaining, I tried to do something about it? What if I decided to be more like Jesus and turned the other cheek? How much happier would I be about this situation? Clearly, getting angry isn't going to do anything. Pray for me. I need to get over myself in this matter. I need to get out of my own little world and see that my own little world is not about me. Father, please help me get over myself and look at things You would have me look at it.
