Resolved

Well, i guess i did make resolutions. For some reason, the four i listed keep coming back to mind. So i intend to be intentional about these things.

And Christians need to be intentional. We can't change people. And there are a lot of situations we can't change. But we can decide on what we will desire and pursue those desires. The choices we make indicate what our true desires are.

The only way i know that i can make any lasting changes within me is if i am in constant communion with God. Prayer is key - prayer that is in concert with the heart of God. God's heart is revealed in the scriptures. If I am going to succeed in these resolutions, they must be directed by God's heart and I must be energized by God's Spirit.

Isn't that how Jesus lived?
