So today I went to Altrincham, it was a nice place. Quite quaint. You know when you can't really imagine living somewhere though, I don't know, I guess 'cause it isn't 'natural' circumstances [i.e just visiting -it feels different].
I know that I want God's will for my life. May it be done. May what I do, who I become glorify Him [exalt Him, be as things SHOULD be, LETTING Him have the rightful place and being in the rightful place.]
A question is.. can wanting God's will ever be self orientated.. i.e like wanting it because I want the best thing for me, instead of wanting it because I want Him to be glorified.
But then, man naturally wants the best way for himself too. Like loving your neighbour 'as yourself'. Then I thought - about this -being prepared to give up all things that come from yourself in order to gain the One thing that is the Treasure - that is Jesus and knowing Him.
And so I guess I wanna have that attitude and desire, by His grace. And I pray He leads me in this.
'He Who has called you is faithful.'
