My Spiritual bucket list:
1. Pray just because I want to be in his presence not because I need something.
2. Kneel not just physically before God but with my whole being (spirit, soul, feelings, desires … everything).
3.See myself the way God sees me, not the way I want to see myself.
4. Be able to accept every error and mistake I make.
5. Ask for forgiveness even if I think I didn’t do anything wrong.
6. Show Jesus through my actions more than by my words.
7.Learn how to be a disciple before learning how to be leader.
8. Be able to do the things because it’s Gods will, not because of what people will think of me.
9. Be able to feel like God does (to see the things like he sees them)
10.To be always joyful.
11.Love people even when I know they will hurt me.
12.Pray a whole day for the needs of other people, knowing He takes care of mine.
13.To be so transparent that the people will see God working in my flaws.
14.That the spreading of the gospel of God becomes my priority.
15.Be able to ask for help every time I need it (stop being Wonder Woman).
Probably when some people see this they will tell me to not be so hard on myself. They’d say I’ve grown a lot in the past couple of years, that I do a great job teaching the kids in the church, and that what I do in Haiti with the kids is amazing. But inside of me I just feel like I am nothing compared to Jesus (which is the reality). When we compare ourselves to him we are simply nothing.
In the last couple of years God has been showing me that the things that I thought I was doing for his glory were really being done for my glory. My sin fooled me, and I felt that I was good enough for everything. I even thought that no one could do things better than me. I was drowning in my pride and I didn’t even notice. Now I feel proud of what God has being doing in me, but at the same time I’m ashamed of all the things I haven’t let God do in me. But that’s part of our lives; to fight everyday with ourselves and let God do his beautiful work in us. Let’s pray for that bucket list and for it to become truer in our lives.
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 3:12-14
