Things I Want

June 7, 2016

What I’ve been reminded of, lately:

I want to be more bothered by my selfishness than my unhappiness.

I want to be more joyous over another’s good fortune than my own.

I want my occasional bouts with emptiness to drive a greater hunger for what only God can fill.

I want to be less driven to have “to be right.”

I want a less demanding and entitled spirit, and more desire to give something relationally in every interaction.

I want to be more bothered by my slow steps of change than others’ slow steps of change.
