I don’t want trite sayings--I want impacting Truth.
I don’t want a superior attitude--I want a servant’s heart.
I don’t want more on my to-do list--I want a greater recognition of who I already am in Christ.
I don’t want to get to try to get closer to Jesus—I want to realize how His Spirit indwells me and is as close as possible already.
I don’t want to work harder to gain love from God—I want to soak in the love He already has for me, sacrificing His perfect Son to bring me back to Himself.
I don’t want to fear what might make me unlovable—I want to recognize that NOTHING can separate me from the love of God.
I don’t want to obsess on not sinning—I want to focus on the new creation He has made me, seeing that sin doesn’t suit me anymore or provide relief, so I can just let it fall off.
I don’t want judgment of others—I want His incredible love to overflow my heart and spill into others, regardless of what they are choosing right now.
I don’t want a hypocritical façade—I want a real vulnerability that recognizes safety in my Heavenly Father.
I don’t want religion where I must try to please a vindictive god with my behavior—I want a practical relationship where Jesus’ Life already meets every standard in me and I get to rest and enjoy His work in me.
I don’t want to have all the answers—I want to go to the One who holds the future and ask Him to reveal what I need to know.
I don’t want platitudes of saying my circumstances will change—I want to see how God meets me in the circumstance and provides all I need even if the circumstances don’t change right away.
I don’t want to avoid all trials and hard times—I want to go deeper with Jesus in those hard times so I know Him more intimately.
I don’t want an illusion—I want the Light of the world.
I don’t want a fantasy—I want the Way, the Truth and the Life to lead my path.
Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. John 14:6
