It's worth repeating that being with Jesus is the most effective means of life transformation!
It's that time of year again...the end of a year, and the beginning of a new one. People all over the world are deciding how they would like to be a better person this next year. They are setting goals, making action steps, calling advisors, etc...
i have felt very restless in the last month.... like I know that God is calling me to more that I am right now. He wants me to surrender even more of myself, to die to more of my selfish desires, and to look more like Him in this next year.
I don't like this feeling... the pruning. I don't like what I see when God puts me under His spiritual microscope... I feel vulnerable and exposed and ugly. i want to hide everything from Him... I want to be like Him, and so many times I fail.
How can I become more like Christ this year? How can I be a better wife, mother, sister, pastor, friend, teacher....
I have to be with Jesus. I have to have more time in His presence where He can "rub off" on me. That is my number one goal...my only goal really..to spend more time being WITH him.. seems so simple, but it's amazing how everything works against my spending time with Him.. this year, I want to press through, I want to know Him more, His power, and His sufferings. I want to hear His voice....
Blessings!
