for years I have been struggling to find my way. what is my purpose? What does God want from me? What does God want for me? God has a plan for all of us but I have never been able to quite figure out what it is me. This quote from the book Spirit Bridge may be a clue.
It certainly is requiring me to pray
The most potent attack of the enemy will always come against our identity. He does not want us to know who we are. He does not want us to know our talent, our true heart’s desire, our destiny, our path. For if we know these things and live out of them with passion, we become extremely dangerous to him. If we live in our true, free, Spirit-infused identity, he will do everything possible to thwart our realization of that knowledge

One chapter, twenty-four admonitions
Allow me to first list the twenty-four life-improving admonitions I see in this chapter. Then, in future blogs, let me deal with each one of them individually and maybe we can get a better picture of how we should live as disciples and follow Christ. So here they are:
- Offer my body as a living sacrifice
- Do not conform to the world
- Be humble, not proud
- Use the gifts I have been given
- Hate evil, love good
- Be devoted to my church
- Honor others above myself
- Have fervor for the Lords work
- Be joyful
- Be patient
- Be faithful in prayer
- Share with the needy
- Practice hospitality
- Bless those who persecute me
- Rejoice with those who rejoice
- Mourn with those who mourn
- Live in harmony
- Don't be proud
- Don't be conceited
- Do what is right
- Live at peace with everyone
- Don't take revenge
- Feed my enemy
- Don't let evil overcome me
