Proverbs

There is a them to me for the last two days as I have been reading in the book of Proverbs. Its a hard theme for me to grasp because I don't want to see myself in this light. And that light is "Wicked". In the Proverbs it recounts many times my will takes over and I stop letting God run my life I become my own god and I begin to do things that the Lord doesn't like, and he detests them. Therefore, I become wicked in his eyes and he cant look upon me. Even writing this is hard because I have to take responsibility for my actions and see that I can be unpleasing to the Father in heaven.

God wants me to be pure in heart, meaning the things people cant see on the outside, the internal thoughts, motives and feelings have to be righteous. Often enough I don't think this way unless I dive into the scriptures and find things that work on my character enough to drive me to change. I love God and want to be close to him, I want nothing to be in the way of our relationship and am striving to be more and more like his son who died on the cross for me.

Lord, Listen to your son and guide his life in the ways you want him to go. Help me to lay down my life and make sure that where there are areas of compromise, you take over and expose them and grant me the energy to be honest and wisdom to be righteous. I love you and thank you for choosing me out of darkness to be in the light where the Son shines on me.
