Be more like Jesus

I love jesus,but not enough to obey him:( and I struggle with evil,wicked desires and unkind ways that need to change so that i can become a better parent and human being to others. I Need HELP!!!

I totally forgot I had this! Haha :D

Well! Hm… updates. I have learned…
to be like Jesus. To by like our precious Jesus…
Behold the Lord and watch as you become like Him.

“fix the adoring gaze of the heart on the person of Jesus. It takes fierce determination to believe that we can approach the Almighty for communion, for the many enemies of the soul try to subvert this process of God revealing God to the human heart. We can live our lives doing religious services and exercises, yet never gazing, never adoring the object of worship. We were made for encounter, for experiencing the presence and depths of God. Even fragments of revelation are enough to transform and thrill the human heart. Dim glimpses of God are enough to fascinate the heart, transform the mind, and apprehend the will to gaze on glory.”

Agh! Am I not trying hard enough? I don’t hate people that never did anything to me. I mean, Rosie O’Donnell would probably be on my hit list if I had one, but she’s just annoying and I don’t care. If she was being stabbed in a dark alley by Donald Trump (or a hobo), I would grab a bottle and break the end off and threaten Donald (or the hobo) away. Then I would take Rosie to the hospital and probably send flowers if she survived the delicate surgery.

Anyway, the point is, even though I don’t like some people, Rosie O’D never did anything to me personally, and therefore I don’t hate her. But that’s not what Jesus would do. He would love Rosie. I don’t know how to do that, especially without meeting her. Look: I have no doubt in my mind that we wouldn’t get along, so it would be tough to love her. But how do you even love someone you’ve never met? I guess if you know them through talking on the phone or e-mails you could love them, but Rosie and I haven’t done that either. How do you love someone you’ve never met?

In the beginning, God created everything…. Then His creation screwed up. Am I able to love someone like Rosie? Someone I don’t particularly like, whose views are so opposite from my own? Someone who loves to fight? Someone I don’t know anything about other than what I’ve seen on TV?

I have to love everyone. It’s just that I haven’t met everyone. Considering how many people there are in this world, I’ve barely met anyone. Plus, there are a lot of people who are killers and stuff. Rosie isn’t a killer. If I can’t love her, then how will I ever be able to love killers? Or people that hurt me and my family? SO FRUSTRATING!

It’s been a rough few years, my life that I knew was shattered by my now “ex”. I hit rock bottom, so I’m on my way back up, by the hand of Jesus.

This is a goal that will never be fully attained this side of heaven. However, I can always make progress this side of heaven.

EVERYONE WANTS TO BE MORE LIKE JESUS

BUT DOES ANYONE WANT TO SUFFER LIKE HE SUFFERED?

tough question huh. i think theres a bible verse that says something like that. if we are partakers of His glory, we will also be partakers of His suffering.

amen brothas and sistas!

I would like to turn the other cheek, and not get angry. I would like to love unconditionally, especially to those that hate me.. imagine how hard that would be..

I’m not a Christian. Then again, neither was Jesus.

To be like Him <3. Though the
flesh and powers and pricipa-
lities may get in the way, His
love and grace will never cease.
We can handles these things with
His Spirit there because without
Him, the true goal of being like
Him is impossible.

I want to strive to be better today than I was yeaterday.
