I want my life to count for something. I want to get to Heaven and have my God say "well done". I am seeking my way to being someone who makes my Heavenly "Daddy" proud.
On my way, some convicting, instructional verses that I found in 2 Peter 1:
5 For this very reason,
make every effort to add to your faith, goodness;
and to goodness, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, self-control;
and to self-control, perseverance;
and to perseverance, godliness;
7 and to godliness, mutual affection;
and to mutual affection, love.
8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure,
they will keep you from being ineffective
and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind,
forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
make every effort to add to your faith, goodness;
and to goodness, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, self-control;
and to self-control, perseverance;
and to perseverance, godliness;
7 and to godliness, mutual affection;
and to mutual affection, love.
8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure,
they will keep you from being ineffective
and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind,
forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
I feel I have faith... but sometimes I know that I don't have as much as I should... now, to work on goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love.
