Good morning! I hope today you find the time to wobble. It really does make your day start off ten times better. :) Don't know how to wobble? http://youtu.be/UH5hUULu4Nk
So, last night I was talking with my dad and Sydney about some Biblical topics. We started to talk about the fruits of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law! I started to slowly realize that these were some of the characteristics of Christ. In order to grow to be more like him, I needed to master each of these fruits. I then decided I want to take each one, one at a time, and grow in it, until I have reached the full potential of what CHRIST'S definition of that word is. Starting at the beginning- love. What is Jesus' definition of love? The answer can be found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Love looks like this. Love is going to be hard to master, I know. Especially because patience is not a strong point of mine. :) But love is patient is the first step in becoming more like my Savior. Please be praying for me, I really want Him to show me how to become a more loving person, but I have a tendency to slack off of things. I do NOT want to slack off of this amazing journey! I would also encourage anyone else wanting to do this to do it. :) I'm super excited to see what God has in store for me as I continue in this!
"I confess that I’ve been blind
Open up this heart of mine
Show me how to love
Father than this world I know
Take me where You want me to go
Show me how to love"
Show me how to love, Sidewalk Prophets. http://youtu.be/PrrsLqhoQPE
