Quite the character

The past two weeks I've really been thinking about Jesus's character - which traits He would have had and it's easy to read about in the bible and when you really think about it how sweet and just beautiful those character traits are it's just refreshing and I want to be more like that! 

 I kind of have a hard time seeing those traits in myself  but the last couple weeks I've really taken notice of certain traits in other Christians that I know Jesus has as well- in the past couple weeks I've noticed how sweet it is to be humble, how great it is when others just encourage you when you're down,  how difficult it can sometimes be to be selfless and seen glimpses of real commitment and faith. 

Seeing all these just makes me love Jesus more! :)  So I'd encourage anyone to look around and try to find Jesus in others !

Building

I was thinking earlier this week about Jesus when he was younger -you know before He had disciples and was a carpenter. And I thought 'How appropriate that Jesus was a carpenter - He built things like His kingdom and churches (though He didn't actually physically build churches)' And I just thought that was the coolest thing! I never really took into account much of Jesus's other life experiences and how He was able to use them in His ministry! I guess I didn't think about it much because the Bible doesn't say too much about him as a child/young adult but it's incredibly awesome!

Speaking of how Jesus builds things... I've noticed lately that He's been building my faith in Him! It's something I had been having some trouble with - just being able to trust Him, but I've noticed lately that there's a change with my heart when I'm praying lately I truly trust that He's going to listen and answer( if that thing is what He wants)- just because I asked.

[Ask and you shall receive] - That one I'm especially starting to trust! 

And you know what, He's answering!

That's what He's been teaching me during the last week
So Praise God!  :)
