I have no desire to want to repeat this year. Many lessons learned through challenges. Yet, many lessons in continual learning that takes time to apply to ones heart to doing it automatically when it is called to do.
Finally realizing some truths and stands that need to be made in order to grow in faith and experience the power of God in ones personal life. We can talk about it or hear it talked about but is it real in our personal lives? Are we just on the edge of it or actually li ving it?
Yes, I'm being vague due to if I spoke details this post would be unknown pages in length in what this year held in lessons. Yet the bottom line is about faith. Chosing Godly values and promises verses the empty ones of the world with selfishness so much at the root of it.
There is victory in Jesus even though at moments it looks interesting but that is when faith has a chance to grow. Mark 11 where faith is talked about can move mountains if we stand on scripture promises instead of unbelief and doubt. Our words can defeat us when we speak with just feelings motivating us verses facts.
Without this year I would not have learned these lessons. It is a spiritual battle we face as we serve the Lord verses one not against flesh and blood. With this in mind it helps one to love their enemies. Humans have a eternal destination waiting for them as they live. If we do not love our enemies, what chance do they have to chose Jesus as they are then able to see the difference of Jesus being real in our lives verses empty words? If we are not sincere and we don't live in His power then what difference are we from the world? Do we then become goats and tares in our own spiritual blindness as we fool ourselves? Does the love chapter of Corinthians set us apart from the world? 2010 has been challenging! Yet, I have an expectant heart for 2011!!!
