if you

if you want to learn to be kind, be overly kind so eventually, you are kind.

if you want to be committed, be obsessed with commitment, so eventually, you are committed.

if you want to be Godly, pursue wholeheartedly, put everything into it, and do not stop. love him with everything in you... let nothing stand in your way. turn your face like stone away from distraction. eventually, God will show you that you will never be Godly on your own, but you will want to be Godly, and that is what he wants.

if you want to be full of grace, learn to love yourself even in your flaws, forgive yourself, disobey yourself when you are doing things simply because you are doing them to find value in them or to try and "please God to make him love you", and let God love you without works (if that is the only reason you are doing them) let him fill that space, let him be enough, let yourself be flawed. And then let others be flawed and over look their flaws and give them grace. powerful words are those that go beyond the darkness, and bring light and grace. show people the grace you have received. Jesus says no matter what to you, he looks over your flaws and opens his arms everyday. dont be afraid to do this for others, it is what changes people.

if you want to be a singer, pursue song, pursue singing, dont talk about it, walk about it.

if you want to love without condition, love despite everything, tell that person no matter what, tell him again, tell her again, tell her even if you dont believe it, tell her if its the correct right thing to do, keep telling her until you mean it. eventually you will and you will wonder why you never did it before.

if you are flawed and have destroyed something and regretted it, ask for forgiveness. forgive yourself. bare the consequences of your actions and live in humility in it. Let it change you. Turn in everyway possible from your mistakes. Let them make you better. Do what you know God would ask you to do. Dont make excuses. Dont continue based on feeling. continue based on obedience to him. tell other people you are sorry. be sorry. tell the judge you are sorry. tell everyone affected you are sorry. and turn around and walk the other direction. dont just walk, run. Let other people love you and let that love bring gratitude and joy and more love in yourself. dont work for their love, let their love be a gift. we love you no matter what.

if you want to or even if you dont want to, Forgive other people. Dont let your feelings of anger stop you... say it out loud. I forgive you. say it when you are alone, say it to the person, say it to your friends even if you do not feel it. God will bring healing in his time but forgiveness and forgiving others is your choice.

if you want to stop being double minded, if you want to stop being confused, let your yes be yes and your no be no. make a decision and follow it as if it is all you know. anything besides this is confusion and confusion is not from God. When you second guess or doubt yourself, remember when you made the decision, remember if you made that decision with wisdom, remind yourself that it is the right one. preach to yourself. This will give you a clean honest life. Let your yes be yes and your no be no, anything else is evil. Jesus said that.

if you want to be sweet, be overly sweet, until you are sweet.
