Are we doing or being?

I was challenged tonight to think about who I am becoming and where I have been. And I just keep thinking about how I have trouble slowing down. I'm always doing something and that's where I often find my identity. 

I see that in relationships sometimes. Especially this one I'm processing. If I said the right thing or was supportive enough then I was a good girlfriend. It hit me though one day that as i was focused on doing doing doing he appreciated me for things I did but didnt exactly appreciate me for who I was... 

How often do I do that to God? How often am I praising him for who he is rather than what he has done? And how often have I had the mindset that I have to earn his grace by being some kind of perfect... Being God's is not about earning a place in his kingdom or making it look like I'm some kind of good Christian. It's all about grace and humbling myself to see this is not about me. It's about him and who he is.

May we remember that today as we have things to get done. May we remember to seek him in what we do so we may learn to love him for who he is not just what he does.
