My Desire

God is so good, man so good haha

"The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love."

Lately all I can think about is wanting to become more like The Lord, everyday I want to become more like Jesus Christ. I like to focus in on one attribute at a time which can be very difficult, but I have been praying to become gracious. Grace, grace, grace.

What blows my mind is that God is the perfect example of the fruit of the spirit

(read these and ask yourself, if you are the PERFECT example of any of them)

 

LOVE

JOY

PEACE

PATIENCE

KINDNESS

GOODNESS

FAITHFULNESS

GENTLENESS

SELF-CONTROL

I am not the perfect example of ANY of those, hahaha not ONE!

The crazy thing is...He IS all of those things!!!! Like woahhhhhhh because I tell myself all the time, "Yo Marge that wasn't very cool, you really need to work on being more loving"... or..."There you go again, saying something that you didn't even mean, come on girl where is the self-control?"

I am never going to be perfect, but the more I press into God and ask him for all of those things, the more he gives me. He is constantly teaching me how to be more like HIM! The goal is NOT to become a kind, good, joyful and loving person, the goal is to become more like God, and the cool thing is that as he transforms me... I become loving, I become joyful, I become all of those things. Because He is a perfect teacher.

It is so easy to look at people on this earth and want to become more like them! SO EASY! It's comparing ourselves (and we can be pretty great at that)! But what can be much more difficult, but sooooo much more rewarding is looking towards The Lord and letting him make you into his disciple. I mean wow.

Lord,

My desire is to know you more and more everyday, I want to seek your face with a teachable spirit. Lead me Lord, help me listen. And mature my heart in you Father. 

amen

God has taught me so much about Him through Kyle. When I went to visit Kyle in Myrtle Beach these past few days, I was overwhelmed with how the Holy Spirit is moving, I am so happy. Some of the ways God speaks to me are, reading His word, praying, and listening and talking to other people about Him, and especially Kyle. He is teaching us so much, and I am excited to grow and learn even more about
