Feeling good about myself

Does my walk with God have room for God to actually receive glory, or has my walk with God been more about making myself feel better?

God is bigger and greater, deeper and better, than I currently know or even imagine right now.

Does my life include aspects of God where I actually go: “WoW!!” (about Him), rather than just pats on the back about the latest “revelation” that can help me “live the life I want”.

#Life in Jesus is about (glorifying) GOD rather than just getting the life I want.
#not easy but true (Jesus said that his yoke was easy...not the walk).
#ME centered Christianity simply misses Christ.

Holy Spirit, help us to really get who Jesus is today through knowing your presence in our midst...in fact so close to us that we have no excuses even when the world falls down around us. (Revelations isn’t a pretty book my friends)

Please help us to dispel the myth that Jesus just wants to make our lives better!
Jesus IS the LIFE...there’s no ifs and buts there.

Life found in Jesus is so much more than what we can recognize in worldly terms.

Most of the early apostles of Jesus who were MARTYRED where not recognized by this world as “living the life”...so let’s stop saying that we’ve arrived, when life is actually only found in the Kingdom of God which is like a treasure “hidden” in a field, where you need to sell or give up everything to begin the journey of discovery of what this treasure, this life, the Kingdom of God actually is.

May there be less so called life lessons, and more of Jesus please...yes, may we actually point people to Jesus...not ourselves, or our own latest “wise words of wisdom”.

Less dependance on what man has to say, and more dependance on what God has to say.

For man speaks to the mind...
but the Spirit speaks to the heart and indeed the whole person.

It is Holy Spirit in us who makes us Holy.
Holy Spirit is a person, not just an idea or concept...so let's start treating him that way.

Imagine living with someone your whole life, and that person only ever (at most) acknowledging you with a courteous "sorry, I forgot you where there", and "do you like what I've done with the place?"

Thank you Holy Spirit for your work in our lives and for being with us in Jesus name. May you be the one that speaks to us and through us, and may we learn to hear your voice, acknowledge you and give you the glory that you deserve.

In Jesus name,

amen.
