A Heart Like His, Week 1
I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the best way to post on this Bible study. I think the best thing would be to post highlights of the week’s lesson from my own study book, with some of my own thoughts added in, along with an open invitation for discussion through commenting. Sound good?
Additionally, since there is way too much to put into one blog entry, I may be posting on the week’s study more than once each Monday, and it could even spill over into other days of the week if it’s a really juicy one, so just be aware. You just don’t know what will happen once you get really into God’s Word, particularly when Beth Moore gets involved.
The first thing I underlined in my study is
“…a person can have good characteristics without having good character!”
The understatement of the year, maybe? Interestingly, what follows is the contrast that it isn’t squeaky-clean shiny perfect people God is calling to develop a heart like His. It’s the imperfect, the ones who are struggling, the ones who are trying. I don’t know about you, but that was major good news for me!
More to come! This study is replete with wisdom and very real help. Check back throughout the day/week for more…

Beth Moore’s study, “Breaking Free” (I think that was what it was called) saved my life.
I highly recommend it.
Wow, that quote is so true. I love Beth Moore.
Looking forward to reading more.

I’ll look forward to hearing more from you. Like the above comments, I have a lot of respect for Beth Moore. Hope your study reveals some great new insights.
Okay, so I’m not gona tell you blah blah blah, I’m just gona be me and say… I love that Beth Moore reminds us that no one is perfect, and that God loves us in our imperfection. But what we need to remember, no matter how old we are or how smart we think we are, is that we constantly need to seek him. We have not and will not on the face of this earth ever be perfect, and we shouldn’t treat others like we know more than them. Along time ago I was reminded that the person next to you may have all the answers that you are searching for, but you’ll never find them if you avoid that person.
