what a humbling night. God is so so good.
tonight at small group we were to go off on our own and evaluate our walk with God. i encourage everyone to do this. here are the questions that were asked:
-How is my relationship with Jesus? Is my own personal spiritual life vibrant and active or dull and dying?
-What has been my experience this semester being in the word and praying? Why is it this way?
-Am I struggling with some sin in my life? What do I need to do about it?
-What fruit have I seen from God's spirit living inside me?
-What has God shown me about Himself this semester? What about him do I still struggle with?
-Have I surrendered everything of me to God? What am I hanging on to still? Is there a gospel other than the gospel of God's grace that I believe to find safety or hope or fulfillment?
-How's my humility?
-How have I done at loving my brothers and sisters in Christ? Have I actively built them up? Have I been praying for them? Do I share in their burdens and trials as I share mine with them? Have I been laying down my life for them?
-Am I submitting to my leaders in a God honoring way and how can I make it a joy for them to lead me?
-Where is my faith leading me? What are my visions and goals for the future? What do I need to do now to accomplish these things?
-Are there circumstances in my life that are changing and how do I respond to these changes? Who should I seek counsel from about my decisions?
talk about some convicting stuff. pretty much EVERY question convicts me. i never want to settle with who i am, or where i'm at with God. i have soo much to work on, and i want to know God so so so much better. i just realized how selfish i am, and how i live for myself and not for Christ. this has to change. i think of this verse:
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. -Phil. 2:3
i want my life to reflect Christ. i feel like God is putting that on my heart NOW more than ever. i want to witness through my life. i want to love selflessly. i want to be humble. i want to be filled with the Holy Spirit in every area of my life. i owe Him my life because He died for me. i want Jesus first. i want to cling to Him. He is the answer to everything.
JESUS IS GOOD.
