Summary: We are so accustomed to being the center of our world. Every one of us has a plan for our own little world, or at least we've had one at one time or another. Those plans shape how we see the world, God, and other people. We think and judge who's for us and who's against us based on how we see them fitting into our world and our plan. But the truth of the matter is that that way of thinking is very broken. We are not the center of our world, and seeing the world through the lens of our self-contrived plans leads to a life of brokenness and disappointment. We are a part of God's plan and the world; everyone and everything in it is His. He made it all. Life for us really begins when we look for God and surrender to His plan. One of the hardest lessons in life is learning to embrace the idea of seeing our plans as broken so His plans can prevail. Everything going wrong can lead to everything going right.
