WHAT I WANT (TO BE)

WHAT I WANT (TO BE)

Ga 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, {23} Meekness, temperance: against
such there is no law.

So often at this time of year we hear people talking about what they want. What we need to do is think more about what we want to be.

I WANT TO BE MORE LOVING:
Help me to love those who need loving the most.
Help me to love those who do not love me.
Help me to love unconditionally.

I WANT TO BE MORE JOYFUL:
TO FIND JOY IN THE SIMPLE THINGS.
TO PROJECT THAT JOY IN SUCH A WAY THAT OTHERS WILL ALSO BE JOYFUL.

I WANT TO ENJOY MORE PEACE:
BY THINKING MORE ON THE SPIRITUAL AND LESS ON THE CARNAL
BY TRUSTING GOD MORE EACH DAY AND REALIZING THAT :

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that
[love God], to them who are the called according to
purpose.

I WANT TO BE MORE PATIENT:
WITH EVERYONE: MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS,
WITH THOSE I DON'T AGREE WITH AS WELL AS THOSE I DO AGREE WITH
I WANT TO BE MORE PATIENT BECAUSE GOD HAS BEEN MORE PATIENT WITH
ME.

I WANT TO BE MORE GENTLE:
MORE CARING, MORE TENDER AND MORE SYMPATHETIC

I WANT TO BE BETTER:
BY ALLOWING GOD TO HAVE MORE OF ME THAN HE ALREADY HAS

I WANT TO BE MEEK:
MEEKNESS IS POWER IN CONTROL AND TO KNOW THE POWER OF GOD IS IN
US AND TO ALLOW HIM TO CONTROL OUR PASSIONS IS MEEKNESS.

I WANT TO BE MORE TEMPERANT:
MORE RESTRAINED AND IN CONTROL, BY ALLOWING GOD TO HAVE CONTROL.

WHAT I WANT TO BE FOR CHRISTMAS IS A SPIRIT FILLED, SPIRIT LED CHRISTIAN.

NOTE: I USED THIS BACK IN OCTOBER BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT DURING THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON.
