this morning's utmost

Some things that stood out to me this morning as I read My Utmost for His Highest. How easily I set the boundaries on what I'm willing for God to do in my life! Or what I'm willing to accept as His plan for me.

"...Always guard against self-chosen service for God. Self-sacrifice may be a disease that impairs your service. If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; or even if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him. If the providential will of God means a hard and difficult time for you, go through it. But never decide the place of your own martyrdom, as if to say, "I will only go to there, but no farther."
