My desire...

My desire is to become more like Christ, and less like Dylan. Lately, I have been challenged with many different things and with so many different aspect of my life. Whether it is to grow in my faith, to take my relationships seriously, to find that passions I once had for Christ, to love people genuinely, to edify and encourage people, and sometimes just to sit down and listen. The Lord has been teaching me so many different thing through friendships I have built and what true, biblical friendship is supposed to look like. I've made some of the best friends I could ask for and then some! But I also have made some deep friendships that are friendly, i enjoy their company, but its all surface. Not surface as in a fake friendship, but as in they spiritual depth behind our conversations are as shallow as a kiddy pool(if Christ is even brought). I need to grow in my relationship with Christ, but in order to do that I don't need friends who are going to pray for me and point me to Christ. I need brothers and sisters who are going to pray WITH me and SHOVE me to Christ! When people look at Dylan, what or who do they see? Do they see a young man, growing in his faith and completely in love with the Lord? Or do they see an immature little boy, growing to up to be a little boy dependent on himself and others? I want to be on my knees CRYING out to GOD for my every need and desire. I desire Him to keep me on my knees. I want Christ be be so evident in my life that people don't have to second guess my motives behind anything, but that the Lord would be glorified by my life. That's my desire. Christ is my desire. Until the next time when pen meets paper...
