I think I've come to realize how much I need God in my life as a Saviour and a Guide.
I've always sort of "known" that I needed God to save me from my sins, God to forgive me and such, but it has never really struck me so much that I need to BE like Him, to learn from Him, and to want to really fully be just like Him. Wow. In every way in my life right now, I can see how He can make me into a much better person. Just the love that He's shown me, the love that I have been capable of so far, and how much more love I am capable of having. The desire to strive towards being able to master loving people is such an awesome goal to have.
I am so thankful to God for the way He has beautifully crafted me, planned out my life, and led me through it while giving me free will and the power to make my own choices; whether to obey Him or not.
Even from one night of reflection and making the decision that I want to be able to love someone that I was feeling hot and cold with made a really big difference. From the moment I woke up til now, I have felt so relieved, so clean, so light, and refreshed. I no longer feel the burdens of having a pretense, my wall of meaner tones and comments has broken down, and I have been honest and genuine in my thoughts, and words. I feel so good.
Because of the decision I made to obey Christ in choosing to make things right and making the choice to want to show love to others, I am feeling like an athlete full of energy before a race. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me and to get closer to being more like Him and being able to love those around me.
