How Do I Do Better?

January 11, 2019 By Mary Hill 4 Comments

 

Better, I wonder at the word. How do I know I met goals or improved for the better? I try everyday to do a little bit more, but I get stuck in my head.

Sometimes, I wonder, do I suffer from attention deficit disorder. I never know what to concentrate on first?

What goals do I tackle first? I am working to breakthrough this year, but will I do more, better myself or fail again.

What keeps you from better? Lack of goals? Not knowing what to tackle first?

My better involves a long, hard struggle.

How do I better myself, build myself up? It starts with a daily walk of trying and not trying. Turning it over to Him. Jesus is the only path to better.

How do you do better. What are your goals for better for 2019. I continue toward breaking through in so many areas of my life.

    I can’t imagine going into a new year without goals. For me, they offer a direction and from that, I form a plan. God begins his work and I can weed out or add to the items I have lifted up. I look forward to being better, doing better for Gods glory in my life. We are all just walking towards home!

    The good news is that we have nothing to earn from God. The Christian life is often realizing we will fail. Sometimes miserably so. Sometimes sinfully so, but that’s why Christ died … because we can never do life perfectly. I think much of our sense of failure comes from that feeling inside of us that maybe Christ died for our sins, but we have to keep ourselves saved or in His good graces by our works. When we rest in Him, we will find that He accomplished more through us than we ever do by beating ourselves up all the time. At least that’s a lesson I’ve struggled with. Blessings, Mary.
