Growth

The last week has brought about growth for me. Will it stick? Well, I hope so, but I know that I am not perfect. Above all my family goes through, my goal is that we bring glory to God. Isn't that why we are here, to serve God and bring Him glory? God wants all of us everyday. He longs for us to place Him first in our life. We can tell everyone that we are serving Him with our whole heart, but God knows the truth in that statement. He knows if you are slacking off. He knows if you are really following His Word. You cannot hide anything from Him. I am responsible only for my life in God. I am not responsible for others' walk with Christ. I can only do my best to speak the truth in love and pray that people see their need for God. I also have to remember that my speaking truth in love may still offend others regardless of how I present it. I cannot take offense. I have to separate my feelings with the knowledge that I have spoken the truth. I am still learning, but God grace is carrying me through.
