The Lord’s heart is a vast ocean of love and mercy but more often than not I forget how deep and how wide that is. Both bitterness and jealousy are things that I struggle with on a daily basis. I have a hard time forgiving people the same way that my Savior forgave me. I struggle to not be jealous of the people around me. Being a girl there is always something telling me me that I have to be the prettiest and that I have to be the skinniest, but why? If the Lord is perfection He can not possibly create word that is imperfect. “I praise, you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works. My soul knows it very well.” My God doesn't make mistakes. Selfishness is another one of those things that can try to take root in my life. I can look at what I think I have and think that I cant give that up because I worked so hard for it. But you know what, it wasn't my work. Nothing that I do has ever been done in my own power. All of my power is of the Lord and who am I to be selfish with what the Lord has blessed me with. Those thoughts are not from the Lord. Those are areas of my life that I allow the enemy to have an inch and before I know it, He has taken a whole mile. I can not possibly put order to my life with my bitterness, my jealousy, and my selfishness. Those are things that I must past to the Lord and allow him to uproot. God’s wisdom and Gods ways is with our flaw. God has a beautiful plan for my life and all I need to do is obey His call, be obedient, and give Him the areas of my life in which I struggle with, with is essentially all of the areas because I am unable to make something beautiful out of my flesh.

The great thing about our Lord is the fact that He didn't need to come to the earth to show us He understood and had the experience, knowledge, and good judgement, but he did. Jesus Christ came to this earth with the wisdom of the Lord in Him. He had an ear willing to listen to God’s voice. Being more like my Lord, Jesus Christ, is something that I try to strive for on a daily basis, and every single day I fall short of that because I am imperfect, but if I carry the wisdom of the Lord with me I don't have to trip up on the little things. If I practice wisdom and I mean really practice it, I can only imagine what God will show me in return. God calls us to love each other unconditionally because why? Because it wise. My Lord understands how wise it is to love one another as He has ...
