What is your 3 biggest convictions?

 

My 3 biggest convictions:

To put God first through daily prayer, and reading the word.

Keep God as my first love.

Being a woman after God's own heart.

 

What are Yours?

i read my bible (nearly) every day... but i find my mind wandering. so that's one area of conviction for me. i want to stay focused. i want to really give God the time that He deserves, not just go through the motions.

 

my prayer life kinda sucks. i don't spend enough time talking to Him... and when i do, it sounds more like my bible reading... going through the motions. another major area of conviction for me. i need to spend more time praising Him for being wonderful, and asking His blessings on those in my life, especially the ones i get annoyed with.

 

thirdly, and this is really major. recently my youngest daughter moved back to our home... with one of her sons, while she tries to get custody of both her sons. to say the family dynamics have been a challenge is an understatement. she works two jobs, i provide transportation, child care, meals, laundry service, and do all the housework... and i often feel as though she treats me with disrespect.. even contempt. her attitude is frequently bad towards me. she doesn't listen, she doesn't pick up after herself, she often yells at me. i was getting more and more frustrated, and one day i was kinda venting to God about it while driving to the store... and suddenly this still quiet voice said to me... "your relationship with your daughter is a reflection of your relationship with me. love her, unconditionally." OUCH. in the days since, i've been really working on changing MY attitude.

 

so there you have it. my three biggest convictions.

It seems like when I go through many storms in my life, it helps build up my convictions to come to God more often in prayer.

My faith- because part of keeping my faith sometimes means

having the courage to say No to a compromise I can't

stand behind.

My life with Jesus- keeping that walk as well as that daily

talk with Him.

My inner peace- mind, soul & heart.

My former criminal record is none of your business.

To Willowwood, I don't know if you read the whole thread. But I asked what are your 3 biggest convictions. I am not refering to past criminal records, I ma speaking to what type of beliefs concerning your walk with God do you hold on to faithfully and strong no matter what a person may say. No matter what you may go through in life.

I know,I'm sorry - I couldn't resist the joke. I didn't mean to take the seriousness out of your thread, but we all need light relief from time to time. The obvious pun stood out a mile.

 

And for the record, I don't have any criminal convictions

1)  Jesus Christ is my only way to True righteousness before God; II Corinthians 5:21.

2)  God has preserve His Love letter to me--the Bible.

3)  And this is the one I'm still struggling  to learn I need to trust my gracious Father to do what best for me, or I end up criticizing my God and showing a great lack of knowledge Job 38:2; 42:1-3.
