Title Day12 - Developing your friends...
Contents
Cultivating friendship with God requires our actions to be honest and obedient to God, to cherish what God values, and to put our friendship with God above anything else in the world. . If you have succeeded in establishing a relationship with God, you can enjoy a fuller life that comes from deep fellowship with God when you value that relationship.
I know that what God requires of me is not as formal as a mathematics course taught in school, nor the fancy vocabulary or neat sentences required when writing a report. Instead, God looks at the attitude of my thoughts and actions. Many people pass by without knowing how false they are living because they are not honest with God. For example, I can't concentrate and study well, and I can't develop relationships with people well, but I have a thief's heart who wants good fruits to be produced in those areas. It is an evil heart that tries to get something without sweating.
Also, obedience and progress in faith are not consistently maintained. When things around me get a little more difficult, I often lose my direction and wander aimlessly. In the midst of this, the roots of faith are revealed more and more in my heart, and I see doubts, confusion, and pride that ignores God's Word and conversation with Him enters my life.
Perhaps the goal of my life is to like what God likes, and to love the friendship that comes from a good relationship with him. That is why I think that God is far from me. He tells me that God wants me to go to college with love, compassion, and live in harmony with others, and that when he looks at my life, he never thinks about position, salary, or social influence. but how am i The word love is a very difficult word for me. Because I have a dirty habit of giving others more sorrow and pain instead of love, and in such a life, I have no compassion for them at all and only use them when necessary, like dealing with a machine. How many more when you treat the person next to you with indifference.
Through sweat, I must restore the close relationship with God that I lost. On Sunday, I have to throw away the narrow lifestyle of living according to God's will only among the believers around me at church and use the life given to me with God's Word every day to enrich my friendship with God.
Shalom~ Families of faith, thanks to you, I have successfully completed 40 days of purpose-driven life spiritual journal. When I first started, it was true that I had concerns and doubts in my mind that I would be able to finish well. However, as I meditated and wrote down each day, those thoughts gradually disappeared, and I had a thought that I had to finish this spiritual journal because God supported me and loved me little by little. It's a joy. Although it was difficult to write a spiritual diary for the first 10 days or so because I had to put it off later. ^^
I keep thinking that I should stand firm in my faith and look at God's amazing expectations for me and His plans beyond the understanding of human wisdom. Now I am thinking again about the worries and troubles that people around me gave me. I am so grateful for the preciousness of my family, the preciousness of my family in Jesus Village, the preciousness of my university, and for training me through my country and using me to help others in any way.
“Only he knows the way I go, and after he has tried me I will come out like gold.” This is my favorite word of the year. I will live every day with faith. I wish to live a life full of vitality that is always awake and tense spiritually, by removing little by little every day from my thoughts, actions, and life, everything dirty like dross. Please pray a lot for me. Please don't look at me now and pray while looking forward to seeing a change in the future.
I think becoming a resident of Jesus Village was the best thing I've ever done. We care for and love each other more in the community.
