46/365

When you think of me, what words come to mind? There are a lot of words that I can stack on to my name. It's just like when I was in high school and we had the option to put the list of our organizations and groups under our name and picture in the yearbook. When people picture you or see you out, they will always immediately think of something that describes you. 

That's why it is so important to be kind. You don't want someone to see you out and be like "oh, there's that mean kid again" yaknow?

So, here's another spin. When you look at yourself in the mirror or are asked to describe yourself, what do you think about yourself? I always struggle with describing myself. I've had many blessings, many successes but none of them really matter when I have to look at myself.

The sermon at my church this morning was about Paul and the definition of him. Paul counted all of his descriptions and his success as loss when it came to being with the Lord. Nothing could ever compare to his relationship with the Lord. Nothing will ever make you feel as fulfilled and joyful as having a relationship with the Lord. So basically, what I really want to know is what do you want people to see or think of when they think of you? And what do you want to think of when you look at yourself?

What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ. //  Philippians 3:8 NIV
