Several years ago our church did a "one word" focus encouraging people to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal a characteristic that God was wanting to work on in them. The first year I learned of this my word was "gentleness". I kept that word in my heart and allowed the Holy Spirit to work on me for several years. When I felt I had made the needed progress the next word I felt directed to was "listening". Some people may change words every year but apparently I'm a little more hard-headed because it usually takes a few years for me to really feel growth in those areas. This week I was reminded of this practice and God gave me a new word, "dependent"(John 5:19). Is there a characteristic God is working on in you? What scripture has He given you to stand on?
Several years ago my word was “confidence” I was going through a lot of change in my life and I knew God wanted me to be confident in His promises and plans for my life. I feel like that has been my word since. I’ve grown in that for sure. My new word for this year is “growth” I’ve been feeling this for several weeks and that’s been confirmed:) I believe God has been preparing me for the growth He has for me with showing me the confidence 🥰 We don’t always walk into stuff with any knowledge of what it means or why. God sees the big picture and knows what and when we need things. Psalms92:12-14❤️ I’m hungry for God. I feel like this is hunger I’ve not experienced until now.. it’s different and I probably can’t explain it. It’s something between me and God and it’s satisfying my soul❤️
