IT IS NOT ABOUT US. Life is not about what we want to do on our terms. Not about how much money we make, how much fun we have in life, or how successful we are. Life is about serving God and putting him first in our lives above anything or anyone. Life is about the SERVANT'S HEART. Life is about getting out there in the world and affecting people's lives in any way that is pleasing to the Father. Sometime's the biggest impact you can make in someone's life is just showing them you care about them, by getting to know them as a person and looking at them through how God sees them. This can be just saying hi to someone in a grocery store and having a conversation with them. Or going up to a group of people that are playing basketball in a park and ask if you can play. The purpose of our life on this planet is to spread the Good News about God and his kingdom and to serve him with a servant's and obediant heart.
So many people in the world are hurting, that it yanks at the heartstrings of God. The world tell's people that you will be happy if you have a lot of money, have sex before marriage, have a girlfriend/boyfriend, you have a sucessful career, have lots of possessions, etc.. That is completely false. Yeah, you can enjoy life and what you have done in your life, but if you don't have the one person that can give you the peace, joy, and happiness in life; well, then you don't have anything at all. That one person is the Saviour of the human race: Jesus Christ. The world says that sin is okay. God says that it is wrong and brings pain and suffering in people's lives. People just want to feel valued and cared about in life. God wants to show people the love he has for them, and he wants to use us to do that. All it takes sometimes is that one action that makes all the difference in a person's life. Million's of people in this world need God's love and need someone to show them that they are VALUED. We mess up at times in life, but God is willing to forgive us if we come before him and repent and give our life and hearts over to Him.
Matthew 10:39- "Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
The more we love this life (the world now) and it's reward's, the more we will discover just how empty life can be without the Father a part of it. The more we give up this life and the pleasures of it (at times that would be sin), the more we will find God and have a life full of happiness, peace, joy, love, and righteouness.
