Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
As a young person in this world, it gets hard to really enjoy life. There are so many things pulling at us every day that makes us question our lives. Is life only about making money? Is life only about one day having the fairy tale relationship that leads to the happily ever after? Is life only about what I want and need? Is life suppose to be lived like the celebrities who seem to be the envy of most Americans? What is life about? Well, on this journey, I find that the answer to that question is in Christ. Jesus lived the perfect example on earth on what life is all about, glorifying God.
Jesus came unselfishly and died unselfishly to be risen and united with His Father again for us. Living in the hands of God being guided and directed into His desires for us is what our lives should be about. It is the only way to enjoy life. Sometimes we feel pressured into being what others want us to be that we forget their portrait of us isn't what dictates our fulfillment, but how God sees us. Even our own preferences can be a slap in God's Face complaining about what we lack when He wants us to be grateful for what He has currently gave us. My own life as an example can be used as an illustration. Allowing my ambition to override God's Timing is a great weakness I am dealing with and He is teaching me patience and contentment. So life is hard, sorrowful, meaningful, purposeful, enjoyable, memorable, and lovable.
What it is not suppose to be is unfulling. Stop dwelling on what you want and focus on what God wants. We are to live to please God. So, if your life of pleasing Him involves riches, marriage, kids, being a preacher, lawyer, or a janitor then great! Just make sure you are living to please God and those are a result of His Plan and not your plan. Living our lives to suit our fleshly desires only results in destruction. So life is...not just what we make it, but also Who we actually live for. Who are you living for? You? Your parents? The world? Or God? #LifeIs #FF
