I'm a really good person
I'm a really good person. I am. I get along with almost everyone. I listen. I lead when required (although leading at home has been my struggle).
I do all these good things because that's what I'm suppose to do. They're my duty. People expect me to be like this...or at the minimum it's what I expect people to expect of me.
All of my "good works" are done because that's what I'm suppose to do...
I realized today as I was reading a Psalms that it's not suppose to be this way. My good deeds are suppose to flow from my exposure to God. That requires trust, vulnerability and walking the Spirit (something that seems like an old memory, but that I'm desiring more than ever).

"My good deeds are suppose to flow from my exposure to God. That requires trust, vulnerability and walking the Spirit (something that seems like an old memory, but that I'm desiring more than ever)." YES. Thanks for writing this . . . I need this today, bro.
This has reminded me of a phrase that John Piper will say over and over again: God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
