Notes from a young child of God

Today as I was sorting through documents on my computer God directed me to one titled: "The Greatest Lie Ever Told." I opened it out of curiosity, only to discover a gem written almost 10 years ago by my daughter, now 28.
Much of the writing focused on the enemy's lies, beginning with the question he whispers: "Does Satan really exist?"
She wrote about our natural inclination to seek after things that are pleasing to us, impressive to others. There were words about "idols," and "chasing after the wind."
This morning I will share just one section of the writing, inspired by the Holy Spirit in a season when He was revealing great gifts, sharing great insights with a cherished daughter of God just learning to bask in the wonder of that reality:

"My question is: "Is your cup overflowing? Is it running over with the love of Christ, so that others might see His love pouring out from your soul? Is there a burning fire of Christ that consumes all death and doubt and restores you to a new life? Do you have that hope, that desire to love and be loved with the kind of love only Christ Jesus can provide?"
"Only you can make the choice," she continued. "Only you can take responsibility for your relationship with Christ. When judgment day comes, it is between you and God. Only you can take responsibility for the relationship you have had with God -- your actions, your choices, your openness to being the Child of God He created you to be. Take the responsibility to open the word daily and let Him fill you overflowing, and in turn share that love with others.
"Don’t let the things of this world choke your relationship with the One and Only true love we’ll ever have, and that is God. Pull out the worldly weeds such as gossip, slander, filth, hatred, and discord. Instead, fill yourself with the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control."


Wise words delivered by God through a young woman stepping boldly onto the path He has chosen for her.
1 Peter 2:2
"Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good."
