Deal with Me

Last night on campus, there was a night of worship and prayer. Honestly, I was slightly hesitant to go because you never quite know how campus wide situations are going to play out. I was greatly encouraged to see the openness to the spirit of the Lord.
Basically, in a nutshell, it was a bunch of 20 somethings coming together to stand in the gap for our campus before the Lord.
There was a guy that spoke, who was very good by the way, about how college students are specifically under a pseudo-assumption that something is owed to us. You can really replace "college students" with our whole generation. The sense of entitlement is clouding compassionate hearts and inhibiting us to run and seek after the Lord with abandon.

It's very interesting what the Lord puts on hearts because not just 3 hours before the meeting I was undone for that very reason. The Lord has been so clearly putting on my heart the need to lose my pride. Pride is interesting because bottom line: there is NO need for it!

Seriously, I am in no way where I need to be. I have in no way arrived. Sheesh, I have a long way to go. Who am I that I should have such a haughty spirit? It makes no sense! Unfortunately, it is something that permeates the spirit unknowingly at times. Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit.
The gifts and talents I have are in no way reflective of Jacob Michael Glose. They are not a direct product of what I've done or accomplished.
To realize this is a humbling process. However, it's a much needed process.

As I read over what I've just written above, it may carry the appearance that I am simply too critical of myself. However, being real with myself and with the Lord brings about freedom and growth to the fullest extent. I fully believe it's the only way for Him to work in your life. Be real

I think growing has been a common theme for the past few posts.
2010...the year for the Lord to work on me in a greater way.
To allow Him to cut out what is displeasing

My prayer in this season...
Psalm 139:24 (The Message)
Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I'm about...
I love the NLT
Psalm 139:24 (New Living Translation)
Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life

WOW, "Point out anything that offends You"
I want the Lord to deal with me. Point out anything that is getting in the way of how He wants to use me. He's a loving father; He'll be faithful to lead us into new seasons of growth

Be encouraged

Thanks for reading!
