The Person I want to be!
It has been many years now; however, I still remember teaching Bible class
for the high school level young people. It was an amazing recognition for me
to ask this question to them.
If we are truly honest with ourselves and asked this question:
·
What would we say 20 years ago?
·
Do we really consider it now?
·
Did we ever really have a purpose or plan?
·
So, what kind of person do we want to be and why?
·
What kind of person would be best for me and
those I love?
Would it be the kind of person that has a harmonic marriage?
Ephesians 5:22-24;
28-29
