Learning to Go Beyond Self

When we look at the world through our own eyes, we set out to do things that we are confident that we can do.  When we look at the world through God's eyes, we are given things to do that are beyond our current capabilities.  We are likely to experience frustration and failure as we attempt these things of God because we start our relying on ourselves.  Only after we call on and rely on God's hand in our work for Him and learn to wait on Him, do we bear the fruit that God is looking for.
