God, I recognize my inadequacy, my failings, the things about myself I'd rather hide or avoid thinking about. We'll call these things my 'flesh'. I know that my flesh desires what is contrary to my spirit, that's why I don't do as I ought. I recognize that You have a plan for my life, that You love me in spite of my screw ups, and that You want me to succeed. I know that in order to get closer to You and learn Your plan I need to spend time with You, and that as I learn, I need to take it to heart and apply what You teach me, in order to grow and flourish as the new man You've called me to be - a godly man.
G.M.P. - the Godly Man Project
Purpose: - to die to the flesh and live to the Spirit
- to learn and apply what I need to be a man of God
- to stop sin and temptation in its tracks by actively taking part in spiritual warfare
- to prepare myself for marriage
Method: - spend time with God every day
- write down things I've learned
- apply what I've learned in my everyday life
- go back over what I've learned and put together the pieces for further application
- live out the application at whatever cost
Timeline: - as long as it takes
