Thoughts Running Through My Mind Lately

Once again God showed me that He has a sense of humor too! In my prayers, I told Him that I don’t understand hints, so He should tell me straightforward what He wants me to do in my life. Last week, someone had a prophecy for me (a message from God). I was told that I should not worry about what I’m going do next in my life, but that God will PUSH me to the right direction, that sounds like a straightforward answer to me!
In addition, as I was listing all the areas of my life that I have submitted to God's will, I prayed that if there is any other area in my life that I haven't submitted to God, He should tell me, so that I can submit that too. Before I could finish the sentence, God told me "your mouth''. Wow, that was quick! I understood that Knowing God's will, is not the same as Doing God's will. You may well Know that you should think before you speak and don't let anything negative come out of your mouth, but actually doing so, are two different things! You may well Know about God's will that is revealed in the Bible, but do you actually Do what the Bible says? Did you submit All the areas of your life to God? It's time that I really transform that little weapon of mass destruction (the mouth) into a weapon of mass blessings!
After reading the Bible and listening to many teachings, I came to the conclusion that the most important thing is to love God and to know God (not just know about Him, but to actually really Know Him on a personal level). Everything else will fall into place once you start focusing on getting to know God better through His Word (that’s the Bible), prayer and teachings (sermons, Christian books).
When I was little, I didn't think much about what I want to Do in my life, I thought about how I want to be when I grow up (kind, smart and beautiful: Okay, I confess, sometimes I also wanted to be a Barbie). Obviously, after getting to know who Jesus is, I want to be like Him (and that's a whole lot more than just being kind, smart and beautiful), because quite frankly, I’ve never met anyone or heard about anyone else who is more perfectly loving, humble, compassionate, friendly and wise than He is.
