Hebrews 12: 1-3 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right had of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”

After reading these verses multiple times, as many of you had, I came to this revelation about what God wants from us:

  • To seek Him until we find Him
  • To ask from Him
  • To pray without ceasing
  • To have faith in what He can do
  • To become more Christlike every day
  • To have the best that heaven or earth has to offer – CHRIST!
  • To believe in and on Him
  • To trust him
  • To be faithful in our walk with Him
  • To not doubt or waver
  • To have the Holy Spirit at work in us
  • To have fellowship with Him
  • To help carry each other’s burdens
  • Not to conform, but to be transformed by His Word
  • To take up our cross and follow Him
  • To have a deep and intimate relationship with God
  • To declare Jesus boldly
  • To LOVE God because He is God
  • To surrender our lives to Him

This is just my short list of what God wants from me and not because it can buy my salvation. The gift of salvation has already been given and received! This is me wanting more of God every day. I know God knows me. I desire to know Him as well, more every day.

“I no longer live, Christ lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20)

Have faith!
