Well 09 has come and gone, and what a great year it was. I met so many amazing people across the U.S. and several countries, who all have such a passion for God and for making his Kingdom known. But as the new year arrived, I began to realize that my passion had shifted to ministry, and not my relationship with God. I am not saying I was
wallering in sin, or anything like that. But my focus had shifted more to success then my character. More of how much I traveled, then how much time I spent in prayer. I had over 2 weeks off for the holidays, and spent that time doing little of nothing but being quite and allowing God to speak to me. So often we try to tell God, what he needs to do, when really we should just shut up and allow him to speak life into us.
I am excited, that I have a new passion for His Word, that I am beginning to feel a closeness, the urgings of his spirit. In 2010, my new year's resolution is I want to be a better lover of God, I want to be a man of Godly character. I don't want to be spoken of, for what I do, my job, but my passion and love for God.
Looking in the mirror is hard, because a lot of the times we don't like what is looking back at us. But I think it is time that we all quit fooling ourselves, and just admit that we are all incredibly broken and need the Saviour. We all need to experience a deeper level of his love.
