I said that I'm not going to pursue a relationship for a long time
but instead going to let God work on me so that I become
a man of God
A man who is able to be in a relationship
in a way that pleases Christ
God has a lot of working to do in me
and I'm allowing Him to work on me
bringing me to righteousness through obedience
and honestly it's hard
in many ways
Being obedient is hard. Starting out I'm having struggles
giving up certain parts of my life that don't glorify God
things that I pray for a broken heart over
not just to get rid of them
but instead to replace them with the things of God
For God didn't just come so that we stop doing bad things
but instead that we begin to live in POWER!!
And that we do what is righteous and holy
≈
Another hard part is simply knowing that there is someone
that I have feelings for
someone that I have strong feelings for
trusting in God to say
Lord I'm going to not worry about how I feel right now
because God You feed the birds and clothe the lilies of the field
(matt 6:25-34)
Simply saying God I know this is how I feel right now
but I'm seeking first Your kingdom regardless
seeking Your righteousness regardless
And through that God is going to move my heart
through the obedience and trusting of Him
Being in His word when I want to be getting into trouble
Practicing righteousness when my flesh wants to practice wickedness
Leaving conformity behind
and being transformed
by the renewing of my mind
Romans 12:1-2
allowing God to create in me
a mind that says
Through Christ I have POWER to truly live!
going on to something beautiful
