1. She gets up each morning and follows through with her commitments despite how she feels.
Her
feet are firmly positioned into the day’s tasks. While quitting may
seem like an option she refuses to become someone others or God can’t
count on. Her heart understands that she must be found faithful in the
small steps to be trusted with the big steps.
2. She approaches the Word of God with reverence.
She
opens God’s Word and believes each day He has something to speak to her
about. There’s no questioning spirit when a friend texts her a Bible
verse. She listens to sermons and teachings and doesn’t think of the
friend who needs to hear that message, she knows there’s something there
just for her.
3. She longs for the grace of refinement rather than the grace of relief.
She
doesn’t have a personal agenda to fulfill when she faces steps of
refinement. In fact, she longs for the grace of refinement rather than
the grace of relief because she trusts the process of refinement. She
accepts the perspective godly people offer her in difficult situations.
And she embraces the process of becoming better through her mistakes.
4. She chooses to infect the world with joy.
Though
life seems to frequently dump on her, she chooses to not dump on
others. In fact, she thrives on being emotionally generous towards
others. The spirit of generosity that oozes through her infects joy into
a seemingly miserable world. As a result, when darkness seems to gloom
over her she can easily shoo it away by giving joy.
5. She has a spirit of unbreakable determination.
Though
she may feel a little [or a lot] bent many days, she never lets her
bending turn to a broken dream. She refuses to break her perseverance
towards the things God has placed her on this earth to do. In the midst
of her rejection that attempts to break her she thrives by standing firm
on this verse:
“Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”–Psalm 51:10
