this is the question of the day. what sort of a person do i want to be? what message do i want my life to speak? what are my goals, hopes, dreams, future? big questions, but no so many answers. i do, however, know a few things...
-i want to live a life that points back to god as good and gracious, a life that brings him glory and leads others into relationship with him.
-i want to be a blessing and a source of encouragement to others.
-i want to love others deeply and to allow others to love me.
-i want to be different, not status quo.
-i want to have an impact on the world around me.
-i want to live a life with an eternal perspective in mind.
-i want to be who god made me to be and to follow him wherever he leads. he truly does know best.
lord, you know it's hard to do these things. life is not easy, especially the sort of life that you call us to live. praise you that you are always by our side and are desiring to provide us with all that we need to be who you made us to be. thank you that you have a plan and a purpose for each one of us. please lead us and guide us, and draw us nearer to you.
"'not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,' says the lord." (zechariah 4:6)
thank you that we don't do this alone but according to your strength. you are good, lord. amen.
