sometimes i get disappointed
i have dreams
but i don’t give them enough credit
because i’m not disciplined
i feel no chance of actually reaching those goals
and there’s so much i’m still learning
and so many reasons to hope
but i get discouraged
and i get caught up in myself
i’m so weak
and i don’t have it all figured out
i’ve been so blessed and God’s grace has been poured out on my life
but i still don’t live for him
i try to justify my actions
but there are no excuses
if i love him, my life must reflect it
true love changes people
his love humbles me
and sometimes i don’t want to face it
but if i’m going to love the people in my life well
then i need to be rooted in God’s love
i need to be living in that
i need to be in the Word consistently
i need to be in prayer persistently
i need to be accepting his love in order to have it change my heart
i want to live for him
i want to love him well and grow in that
i want to be used in so many ways
i want his love to be worked out in my life so that others see it and praise him
i want to love other people well because he loves me well
i want my love to be manifested in the way i live
i want to read my bible and pray intentionally every day
i want to love people by being generous with them
putting them before myself
and sharing life with them
but mostly i want to be filled with God’s love so that he may work through me to touch the lives of those around me
