Just Like Jesus...

This past week I started teaching a small group on Tuesday nights (will meet every two weeks). We are studying the book by Max Lucado "Just Like Jesus - having a heart like His." My main goals in the small group are to grow fellowship with one another and with God. We had an awesome group of ladies and some wonderful sharing time. I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead and the path God has for us. Fellowship is how we get to know one another better. I told the ladies at the end of the evening that the devil wasn't going to like us getting together and studying God's word and application to each of our lives. We needed to be prepared for the attack and try to respond with a heart like Jesus. Sure enough, the next day the devil had his way with me. I didn't respond with a heart like Jesus - I let the devil use a situation. I have a choice - I could wallow in my defeat or I can choose to ask forgiveness and try again. I choose the latter. I was disappointed that I responded in that way, but determined not to stay in that place. I need to keep trusting in Him and getting to know Him better each day. Since Jesus is my Savior, I claim Colossians 3:10 "Each of you is now a new person. You are becoming more and more like your Creator, and you will understand Him better." Be patient, God isn't finished with me yet. Stay tuned...
