Desire For Something Different

Paul, probably the greatest follower (ever) of Christ, struggled with who he desired to be. Maybe you can identify with his words.

"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do . . . For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:16-25)  We all have dealt with this, haven’t we?

• We want to be Genuine, but are Judgmental.
• We are Anxious, but desire to be Authentic.
• We are Resentful instead of Humble.
• We struggle with being Fake and not Alive.
• We feel Weak and not Strong.
• We want to be Real and Funny, but tend to be Greedy, Sad, and Selfish.
• We long to be Visionary, Loving and Kind but end up being Mad.
• We want a life that is Thriving, Successful, Respected, Free, Healthy, and Generous but find that life is more Empty, Angry, Deceitful, Careless, and Unkind.

We find this GAP between who we are and who we desire to be. If that sounds like you, join us starting this Sunday as we look at the foundational truth around the journey of closing that gap. If there is anyone who wants you to flourish it is God. He not only desires this for you, but is committed to making this a reality for all of us who will stay in the flow of His Spirit.

Join us Sunday at NewPointe, as we talk about “The Me I want to Be . . . becoming God’s best version of you”. It promises to be life changing.
