I have been trying to live up to my own standards. I have a picture in my mind of the good qualities God wants to see in me. I neglected, though, to see if my ideas of the qualities God wants me to display are the same qualities that He says in Scripture that He wants to see in my life. Was I really working on treating others the way I want to be treated? (Luke 6:31.) Was I doing whatever it took to love God with all my heart, soul and mind? (Matthew 22:37.) Was I requiring myself to act justly and love mercy and walk humbly with my God? Because that's what God requires of me, and what He requires is all that matters. (Micah 6:8.) I need to rid myself, free myself of my own requirements, and just live as God requires me to live-in love and obedience to Him.

    Welcome to CWO Jen! I do hope you will find the women here to be such a blessing as I do and that you will be encouraged by their words and praise of our Almighty God! Please see the blog guidelines here http://christianwomenonline.net/comm...ur-editor.html for some of the requirements we go by in publishing your blog pieces. Again, welcome! We are so glad you have found us.

    To Him alone be the glory!

    Jen welcome to this place of love where you will find other women seeking to encourage and lift each other up as we testify to our God's goodness. thanks for the reminder that He does have requirements and i praise Him right now that He has given us Christ to live in us through the Holy Spirit giving us a way to live up to those standards. Amen. One of my all time favorite verses is We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 I'm so thankful that any love I have for God stems from His love for me. Can't wait to read more Jen.
