A challenge lays in my life right now and I wanted to process it with
you. We all know everyone looks different, acts different and as we act and
work certain ways we all present ourselves in individual ways. I
will be presenting a few thoughts and wondered how they looked for my life and
wanted to get you thinking too, for you to think how it would look for your
life individually.
Thoughts to ponder, and as you think about them
may you come to a deeper meaning of how
they look like for your life:
(read through them slow and meditate in each one)
What would it look like to honour God with all
of you? (Your whole, body, mind and strength)
What does giving God the glory for all things look like? (Boasting of the Lord
not yourself)
What does it look like to thank God with everything?
What does living in complete freedom in Christ look like?
What does a mind controlled by God look like? (Not just desiring it but
actually doing it)
What does giving up complete control for Gods perfect plan look like?
(This means surrendering your plans and your desires for the future)
What does being abundantly alive in Christ look like? (This may not always mean
beings happy, but maybe peaceful and filled with a knowing of who God is)
What does seeking righteousness (wholeness, purity) look like?
What does the overwhelming Joy of the Lord look like in your life?
What does loving richly look like? (From the center part of you, even when you
do not want to)
What does patience look like? (Even when you’re tired or frustrated)
What does being slow to anger look like?
What does living in complete peace look like?
(Really take time to reflect on each thought, it may take days or months to
work through, as it will for me- desire to go deeper)
God has called each one of us to act and be
people for his Glory. All these thoughts look different for each person and I
am challenged with how they look like for my life. My desire is to be all I can
for God, that he changes me, whether it’s painful or not. That my inside is
changed – It starts with a voice, a deepness that desires more and letting it
RISE UP to be more!
What is stirring up in you? What have you been
pushing down because you’re scared to let it come up because something may
change? Start with one of these thoughts and let it soak in you. Watch God
change you from the inside.
These past few blogs have been challenging I
know, I am working through the process too.
But I truly desire for you to know my heart and be changed for Gods
glory. I want you to know my thoughts; it is a great way for me to share what
you can pray for through my thoughts and for you to come to know my heart of
hearts. I am not willing to hid any more but lay it all down, I want to share
my journey with you- not only through my experience at each country but my
heart. Let`s walk together. Let’s be
challenged together. Let’s serve together.
