Just Be!
I strive to be all of the above. Some days the "be still" eludes me. That is the most important of the "be" word. When I fail to be still, then I miss my time to soak my whole being with God's Word and His presence.
"Be humble" that another battle that I face. I really struggle to remain humble most of the time. Not that I don't want to, but my flesh wants that recognition and praise. Like I go around patting myself on the back if no one else offers to pat it for me. This is not the way God instructs me to live my life.
It is easy for me to "be grateful". These past several months has really taught me that regardless of our circumstances, I have so very, very much to be grateful for.
I think I can "be smart", however, that is open for discussion.
I can "be involved" but sadly, not involved enough. I wonder, how can I complain about happenings, events and people of this world not changing, when change begins by people being involved.
I also find it easy to "be true". I have never liked people that are not truthful. I don't have problems being true to my spouse or true to my friends and family. True and truth are a part of me.
To "be prayerful" is my second nature. I live most of my day in a prayerful state. No, I don't mean that I am in a head bowed, hands folded, standing still position, but, I am in a ongoing conversation with God most all of the day. I truly have a open line of communication with my Father.
To "be clean" to me means to be clean in mind and spirit. This is tough sometimes because when someone upsets me, I automatically have to fight unclean thoughts about that person.
So, there is definitely an unfinished work in me. Some of the construction God does, the rest is up to me. I certainly have work to do.
