I need more of Jesus, more of His Word, more time with a quieted mind in prayer and worship, that I would become the daughter of God He created me to be, uniquely designed to reflect His love and goodness.
...
In reviewing the day - what a gift! I am so grateful! - but playing back the words that came out of my mouth which flowed out of my mind/heart. They reveal how self centered (me me me - whine whine whine - brag brag brag) I still am. I'm not fishing for agreement or rebuttal, just getting a good whiff of the overflow of my heart and it stinks. My mind and heart need more Jesus to cleanse and refresh it, so that I will overflow with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, compassion, and generosity in practical ways. Jesus love me like that. And even though I am disappointed with the stink of my words and condition of my heart, I know that being made aware of it is a gift too. Because it is an opportunity to turn to God and renew commitments to be filled with continual filling (which an action (not a wish) I must make) of His love, truth, word, goodness, and then overflow with it.
