"Are you getting it? Sometimes you need to maintain a low profile...so that you can complete THE MISSION..." [K #2]

I want to always be a vessel to bring God's love and peace through being an image bearer of Christ's love for humanity. Not that human approval is completely void of merit, but in whatever I do, I want to feel His glory and love amidst everything I do...

As I continue to go through life, I will strive to learn to be patient in affliction, eager to serve, quick to compassion, slow in formulating wisdom and unconditional in love. As a friend, first and foremost, to whoever God brings into my life (friends, relatives, co-leagues, children, spouse...etc..) I want to think of myself first less often in service to my Lord, but not dismiss the person God is creating and molding me to become. I also want to be present in their lives not just as someone who is wiser and more discerning (even if that is actually the case), but someone who journeys' along side them as they grow as a person and child of God.

I want to become a man of God who strives after achieving His goals and plans for my life, but also humble enough to admit when they are still a work in progress. To have an attitude similar to the biblical King David, after God's own heart, but contrite in acknowledging one's sins. To have others look toward me as a role model in part due to my willingness to follow God's path for my life, but also due to the way I follow God's golden rule in loving others as I love myself...
