From Knowledge to Intimacy: My Spiritual Aspirations for 2025
Transforming Academic Understanding into a Living Relationship with God
I’m thinking of the New Year and what sort of goals I want to set for 2025. There should be goals for our personal growth, health, finances, family, and, most of all, spiritual life.
My Goals for 2025
I want to grow in my knowledge of God, my Father. I do not wish to just have an academic knowledge about Him but intimate personal knowledge of Him.
I want to allow Christ to live out who He is in me more than I ever have.
I want to display the fruit of the Spirit to the point it is evident in me as the Holy Spirit dwells in me and fills me.
I want to live out all the Biblical truth God has said about me and placed in me.
I want to capture and control my thoughts on truth, not what the world says or what I think in my inner critic.
I want to share God’s love with others. I hunger to see those who have never heard hear. Taking the gospel to the world in our generation will motivate much of my life.
I want to forgive others as my heavenly Father, God, has forgiven me, to love as he has loved me, and to accept others as he has accepted me.
Other goals
My personal growth goals include reading, writing, and learning because I have not arrived by any stretch of the imagination.
My Health goals are to be more active and to continue to eat a healthier diet.
I want to Honor God always with my finances.
Grow in my love and relationship with my family. Nothing is more important than our relationship with those closest to us.
What am I missing that you might help me think about? I would love your comments. What are your goals for this next year? Let’s never quit, never let up, never sit down until we are done.
