Living God-centered

I want to share an idea with you that my lead singer at church gave us today.

He prayed that we change our perspectives, to change them in the way that we take ourselves out of the center, with everything revolving around us, and put God in the center.

There's a couple problems with having ourselves in the middle.

Imagine yourself in the middle with everything and everyone else as an asteroid belt around you. In this perspective, everyone around you is inferior to you and they all depend on your movements. If that's true, it's impossible to love our neighbor as ourself, which is the greatest commandment of the bible.

Secondly, if everything revolves around you, God does too. That means God is just another asteroid following your every movement. The God that created the universe, and He depends on your every move, I don't think that's a good way to live.

If we put God in the middle, we realize that we are just another asteroid. We depend on God's every movement. We are equal to every other asteroid in the fact that we are all there solely for His purposes. And if we are equal to every other asteroid, it's possible to love one another as we would love ourselves.

So does the world and the God who created it revolve around you, or do you revolve around God?
