I know some people will say that they actually live for their children or family or school or their job or something along those lines. But what if, just what if, you died. Right now, as you are reading this you suddenly have a heart attack and cannot go on living. What happens then? Isn't the ultimate point of life(not the meaning...well I think not the meaning) to have done something notable and worthy and to live for something with a goal in mind? If we all are to die, which we all will, that goal is kind of that last day, don't ya think? And what happens if the person who did not ambitiously pursue Christ with all they had? Won't they miss the goal? It's like soccer. You don't practice just kicking the ball and running around. The objective is to make a goal. If you don't have that extremely crucial relationship with Christ (John 14:6-7), YOU ARE GOING TO MISS THE GOAL. Literally, the ball (your life) will miss the net. It will not go in. You will not live in eternal bliss with our Father and Creator.
For those that think just kicking the ball around and practicing will get them somewhere in life, you're wrong. All you're doing is running around in circles instead of having an actual goal in life. Those that know that God exists because of being raised to think that or just because they know this life on Earth couldn't exist without having a higher being, don't you realize you will have to answer Him one day? Do you think just not doing all the wrong things will make you "good enough?"
The more I live and think about this subject, the more I am thoroughly convinced that God is real(to clarify, I am a follower of Christ, but as a human I do have my doubting days which cause days like this to be even more glorious!). My heart literally YEARNS for Him. I want Him with me, all the time. I want His joy to overlap my life. I want everything He has for me and sometimes I feel like I get ahead of myself. In fact, a very wise woman spoke with me last night about waiting for God's timing. His timing is everything! It really is. If anything is not in His timing, it is our own stupid and selfish timing. He will provide, we just have to wait. I can't even begin to tell you how unfaithful I have been to Him and how many times I have been adulterous, not in a literal sense, but just as much cheated on Him with some other idol.
Recently this idol has been men. I have so many worthy men in my life! Men who love Jesus with all their being and this is the most attractive thing to me! I feel bad having lead myself on and, likely, others on at times thinking it was "innocent" flirting because I was their "sister in Christ." It makes me want to cry, the dishonesty in that thought. There is no "innocent" flirting. Flirting is to attract. Attraction is to try and get a mate. And to get a mate is far more then I care to think about right now.
I don't even know what I've written here! Really, right now the adrenaline of the Spirit is beginning to relax some, though I still feel completely overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit that has so much wrapped Itself around my heart in this beautiful protective shield so that when the Enemy attacks me, as he has been, I feel convicted and loved and I know what's going on. I am beyond joyful and must restrain myself in public right now, which I am currently in.
Basically, God loves you. His goal as your Father is for you to live eternally with Him in Heaven. Let that goal come to! Put your goals aside and ask Him His goals for your life. I promise they will be much more fulfilling then you could ever imagine. We are NOTHING without Christ. It's really quite simple.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and He does, so I can.
