WHAT IS MY MAKEUP? Day 6 challenge

I'm just your average 63 year old worker who likes to write, paint, craft, teach, sing, play bass and much more.

To go along with these hobbies, I need perseverance. I have to finish the projects to gain my own satisfaction and feel accomplished. It is also a quality that my boss respects and enhances the environment in which I work.

I am a problem solver. Not just solve the problem, but to know where to find help and seek the solution is a trait that I like in myself. I always try to search and research to help find a product, service or idea that will complete a project or design.

Since I love music and art, I need the loving, compassionate side to my nature. Music is just notes and sound without the heart and soul of the musician flowing through the vocal cords or instrument. I love to love.

There are many more character traits that I have, good and bad. The ones expressed here are the ones that have surfaced the most lately. 

Traits are something that can be worked on. I can achieve to love more, be less demanding, less condemning, more caring, more compassionate. I will persevere to improve my character and not be satisfied with who I was yesterday or today but yearn to aspire to a higher level of human concern for those around me. 

It is possible. 

A New Anointing

My pastor preached the other day on the anointing. He explained that it wasn't a feeling that comes over you as in a sudden chill. It's not a tangible thing.

God anoints people by using the skills and talents a person already has and makes use of them for His Kingdom purposes.

So whoever and whatever you are, is to be used for Him. He will infuse you with His Word to perform the actions necessary to help others escape from whatever has them in bondage.

He will refine you into a likeness of Jesus.

We are to take others to Jesus not to ourselves, for within our selves is nothing good. But Jesus is good.

Don't use the excuse that 'God made me this way'. That is truth but He loves you too much to leave you this way. Everyone needs to be changed into the likeness of Christ.

All of the trials, victories and waiting are a testimony to others. They are watching and waiting to see how you will handle situations. They will use your response to justify their own.


Rom 5:3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;
Rom 5:4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
Rom 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
