I have a friend lately who likes to tell me that I am acting "holier than thou." That really bothers me. I don't want to act like I am better than anyone else but at the same time, I do feel like having the Holy Spirit within is such an awesome feeling and anyone without it is truly missing out. It seems to consume a lot of what I have talked about lately. I think it is like when you have a new toy or something that you really like...all you want to do is talk about it. I have a fire in my heart for God right now that is unlike anything I have had in a long time. I want others to feel that fire and have it within them also. It isn't that I am "holier than thou", I just want to spread the love of Christ. I do realize that I am still full of sin and that there are many areas of my life that I need to work out. But I am so thankful for grace and that I am forgiven of those sins. It was actually pretty amazing...I typically get very emotional at certain times and really feel like I am losing control of myself. For the first time in many months, that did not happen. It was amazing...and I equate that totally to God. I am so thankful for the group of people that he has blessed me with over the last few months and how their love of Christ and how they live their lives has bubbled over to me. I also realize that valleys will return and that those are the times that truly test us but I feel stronger than I have in a long time. I do believe that God has a purpose and a plan for my life and I am so ready to follow that. I think for several years there, I was not ready to follow. I pray that I continue to feel that way and that I allow God to direct my path and show me the way!!! It's kind of scary really because you never know where and how he is going to take you but it is exciting at the same time.
