A waitress comes to our table and asks us, “ what do want?” After looking at the menu I decided that I wanted “fish and chips.” In life, what do I want, what are my strongest desires in life. If I had a vision in the middle of the night like Solomon had what would be my answer to that question, “what do you want?”
I think my answer is, “I want to be as holy, righteous, and perfect as Jesus was as a man.” I know that I am growing towards that, and I am now expected to pursue holiness and righteousness, but if I were there now it seems like I could do a bunch more ministry for the lord.
Regardless if it happens now or the last thing in my life, it is still the strongest desire in my life. Growth in righteousness causes the most personal excitement and sense of accomplishment in me of all the things I pursue, and not much else makes me feel like dirt as much as messing up living my life as an ambassador for Jesus.
I want my desire for purity to stay white hot so it is important that I don’t excuse any failures on my part and that I read the Bible every day.
