every day the choices you make say what you are and who.
I'm sick of being selfish and self-seeking. I'm tired of my own apathy and procrastination. I know what I have been called to and I'm gonna do it. I'm not going to let the voice inside my head that tells me I am not good enough win out over God's voice which tells me I am good enough by his grace.
I want to be a woman of boldness, beautiful character and a quiet spirit that seeks to please the Lord. I want to be different, set apart in my joy and my love for others. I want to take action for the things that break the Lord's heart and not sit around pursuing my own best interests. I want to be someone inspiring, someone people look to for wisdom and encouragement.
Mostly though, I want to be an example of the Love of Jesus Christ. Love that is patient and kind. Love that does not envy and does not boast. Love that does not dishonor others and is not self-seeking. Love that is not easily angered and does not keep a record of wrongs. Love that does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. Love that always protects, trust, hopes and perserveres.
Father I am humbled before you. These are my deepest desires.
Your daughter.

Tess: I like your thoughts. In a way, it is the inner desire of every reborn person. Life, takes us up to different stages and scenarios and our reaction to these changes or challenges, if I can say that, marks the difference as sons and daugthers of God. We keep looking up, serching, waiting and upholiding to the one which our help come from.
