Top 10

February 6, 2012

At the beginning of the month we all get our new “Reading
Guides” and follow them throughout the next month reading scripture. After I did my reading today
I spent a little bit of time focusing on the back side: Top 10 List, 3D Lives,
and Goals…

I normally just move my Top 10 people over from the last
month to the current month, toss it in my bible as a book mark and carry on. Today I kind of just let it all linger… As I wrote down my Top 10 people that need to say “Yes” to
Jesus, I thought about each one, where they were on their journey, when the
last time I saw them was, when the last time I said Jesus to them, and some
ways that I would be a stronger “Jesus” influence in their lives. Some people
on my list are very close to me like my family; I see them every day and try to
pray for their salvation every day. But then I have people on my list that I
don’t see, or won’t ever see (I don’t think) again. These people I have on my
list (there is two) so that I can pray for Jesus in their life, and I have them
there also as a reminder to FORGIVE them every day. Seventy times seven. These
are people I can be jealous of, hold grudges against that have hurt my family,
or hurt me. I NEED to pray for them.

I am really remembering how important prayer is. In today’s
readying (Matt 26) Jesus prayed to God for him to take the cup, but then after his 3 times of prayer he seems much more “at peace” with his coming death. God takes our little prayers and makes them BIG.

I don’t normally write in my Goal List, but I am going to really try this month. My first goal: pray for my top ten list daily.

God, I can’t do everything, but I can pray. The people on my
top ten list come from so many different walks of life, some of them already
know you but are struggling through some tough times and I just want to keep praying
for them. So many people on my list are family, God I so so soooooo badly want
them to come to know you. How cool it would be just to be able to celebrate and
worship you together. And God, there are people I have to pray to forgive
daily, I put them on my list because a part of forgiveness is to pray blessing
into someone’s life. I pray you would bless those two today, would they know
you, and have such a wonderful life. God, please help me to pray, help me to be
diligent in praying for those on my list. Thank you for all the people who pray
for me as well, would you bless them in abundance today.

I love you,
Kelsey
