You know these things are very essential, EXTREMELY essential. But I can't help but think "how selfish am I." This is not a question as you can see by the lack of question mark, this is a statement. I think about myself a lot, not like in the material sense but the spiritual, which is good, everyone should definitely take a big look at themselves spiritually. However, I also realize that I need to be more constant with praying for other people and their spiritual lives as well. I mean it's tough down here ya'll and we need each other to pray for one another.
Yeah I realize that things have to change within me constantly for the betterment of the Kingdom. I mean big things, not tiny little things, some pretty hefty things actually.
BUT what about my roommate's spiritual life? The ladies across the hall? My professors? My mother? My father? my sisters? Anyone I really come in contact with. You don't need to know everything about their relationship with God, you just need to know that there should be a relationship with God. You need to know that God desires a relationship with those people, and even if you feel like their relationship with God is tight...will you pray that it sustains? This is what I'm saying. We need each other's love for God to reach up to God as advocates for one another's relationships with God.
I needed my mother's prayers as I was growing up. She prayed that we would follow God with all of our hearts, that we would find him some way some how. That he would pierce our hearts with his love. She was the intercessor for my relationship with the God of the entire everything, even things we can't see. He answered her prayers three times over. We were blessed by her love for God.
I want to pray for others relationships with God, growing or sustaining. It doesn't matter, it's not all about ME and MY soul and MY good works, MY faith. I shouldn't just be in it for me. I've realized this about myself. Well it came out swimmingly.
All to God
