Qualities of God

2 Peter 1:5-8
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.


We are to always better ourselves in the way that we life in the Lord. That is where the vision to dominate our lives comes from. That in all aspect, that it be excellent in the eyes of the Lord.

These are things that I will need to continually work on. I need more faith, and goodness, and self-control, and perseverance, and godliness, and kindness, and love. Through these things, I will be an effective witness to the Lord.

Father God, thank you for your love and you goodness and all that these are. I pray for your character upon me, that I may be made like you. Let your Spirit pour out into my life, that I be changed for you, and I pray that my life reflect your glory, that I may be effective as a witness for you. I thank you Lord, and I pray all these things in your Holy name.
Amen.
