Humble me

Humble me Lord.......
Today I have struggled with feelings of anger and frustration when a client was upset with me...were my feelings hurt?  Yes...a bit.  I wanted to argue and prove a point, defend my actions and the efforts I had made to help a difficult situation. 

I prayed...prayed that God would soften my heart.  I told myself that it was impossible to make everyone happy.

And then, at one point during the day, it occurred to me that Jesus didn't come to earth to make everyone happy. Not everyone approved of what He said or did.

So what makes me think that I am any different?

Humble me, Lord.....help me to always strive to do your will and be your servant.  Help me to remember that it is only YOUR approval that I seek....
