What I Must Become: The List

In the same vein as the previous post, here are the attributes I'm asking the Lord to bring out in me, and show me how to become like Him. I know I'll never be perfect, but if I could, I wouldn't need Him :)

• A servant to all
• Constantly praying
• Faithful
• Forgiving
• Humble
• Discerning

I'm sure there are others that I need. If any spiritually mature brothers or sisters in Christ know of a Biblical quality that I'm lacking, please comment/contact me.

What I'm Looking For: The List

I was recently encouraged by someone at church who has been counseling me in my search for my wife to write down all the attributes I'm looking for and commit them to God. I don't believe this will be the final list, but I do think this covers a lot of what is required. The characteristics in the list below aren't a matter of personal preference, they're non-negotiable. This isn't to say I don't have work to do in the following categories, but I know that my wife will be:

• Godly
• Self-disciplined
• Willing to serve others first
• Compassionate
• Understanding/Empathetic
• Has a good, loving relationship with her family
• A hard worker
• Diligent
• Humble
• Of noble character
• Articulate/Communicative
• Loyal

If anyone reading this has additional suggestions based on Biblical principles or life experiences, please comment or contact me in some fashion.
