Today I’m writing over on Laced with Grace. Here’s the start.
I don’t know about you but I’ve spent most of my life making myself bigger than God.
My problems.
My feelings.
My husband.
My children.
My friends.
My dreams.
My job.
My money.
My body.
My hair.
My health.
My meals.
My strengths.
My weaknesses.
My sins.
My success.
My calendar.
My past.
My future.
My life.
Me, me and more me.
Why?
Because I had a small view of God and a big view of me. I became my god.

You have such a special way with words. When I read your devotions, my mind is able to see past the text, right to the heart of your message. Thank you so much.
This was awesome.
Great hook Tiff…heading over to LWG right now!
I'll share something interesting…for several months I was waking up at EXACTLY 3:30am…I couldn't figure out what it was all about…for years I wondered why because it was just SO strange. As God grabbed hold of me and I surrendered…years later as I searched through the Bible…wondering if "3:30" meant anything…I ran across John 3:30 "He must become greater; I must become less." I was BLOWN away…some might consider it "coincidence"…I call it GOD! Soooooo…I got the message loud and clear and I've never been the same. I live by the truth that…"It's not about ME…it's all about HIM!"
Love and prayers!

I ran over and read and left a message there! POWERFUL! Love you Sister.
GOD is so at work in you.
Tiffany, I tried to comment twice on the other page, and it didn't work. Wanted to tell you that I LOVE this post!!!!
Girl, I am so vibing with you on this one!!! He is our HUGE God!!! I love what you said about being small enought to fit in the palm of His hand. And, I love knowing that we serve a Mighty God, and that through us He can, and will do HUGE, and miraculous things. Our BIG God is still in the BIG miracle making business! Let's believe in Him BIG!!!
Thanks for the post! Have a blessed weekend!
Joyfully,
Wylie
Well AMEN to that. We all seem to think what we want or think is way more important that what God thinks or wants. What a great reminder of that. Thanks for posting this!
Amazing post Tiffany!! I am guilty of keeping God in a box and not thinking He is big enough. Why do I do that when His word tells me the truth. I am slowly taking down the walls that I have been keeping Him behind and letting Him take control! It's so much better this way. Less of me and more of him!
Thank you!

This line was so delicious
"I was planet size and God was a resort destination spot in my world"
Wow. This is indeed what we have made Him and I fault our new gospel…the way in which we present Christ as a beautiful addition to our already beautiful American lives.
