thank you God for santifying me day by day, trial by trial. It brings me closer to you and kills my desires for earthly things. thank you God for working in my life and making my life my pleasing to you. I am constantly learning how to kill the old self in me day by day, i cant wait till im in your presence and my desires for this world are fully conquered. i cant wait till I can love You the way i was meant to, be devoted the way I should.. while im on earth I know i will constantly struggle and be fighting wrong thinking and wrong desires... I cant wait for the day you come back or the day that my life here ends. i keep living for your purposes and for you to work in me for your ministry, please i pray that this life not go to waste...
