Meant To Live

Meant to live

‘We were meant to live for so much more’ how simple and straightforward is this lyric in the song Switchfoot – Meant to live. I asked myself, am I living this life for my self? Or am I living this life for his kingdom? I want to give him back what he gives me, and multiply it by 10! As he continues to offer me more, I’m simply going to give it back with a harvest. He gave me life and I will give it back to him with all my MIND, HEART, SOUL and STRENGTH. 

I’ve learnt to change my way of thinking, I’m not going to live a life utterly focused on striving to acquire a house, a job, a car and a wife. That person, those possessions, properties and employment will emerge effortlessly through a wholeheartedly trust in God. I know that by putting him first in my life, everything else will follow. I don’t know the exact plans he has for me, but I know he has one laid out ready; I just need to follow the right directions on the road. You may not noticed but the enemy has also laid a path for you, his placing wrong directional signs alongside the plans Gods has for you, so that you can go off track, fall and collapse. Stay alert and focus in his Word, don’t pick the wrong route. 

Have you ever driven in an unfamiliar territory? It’s scary and the environment is so unknown and all you desire is just to get back onto the right path. Before, I was really lost and living in a strange place. After finding God I asked myself, what were the choices and decisions I made that led me to those dark certain situations? It wasn’t Gods fault, and I think out of anger people blame God for their misfortunes. But God is a consistent God, he never changes and is always the same powerful God he was yesterday. I read from someone’s Blog that its US who needs to change not him. He is there waiting for you, we need to run after him, grab hold of him and don’t let go. It’s YOUR decision if your fingers start to slip, it’s YOUR decision if you let go and fall away. I know I’ve made that decision and it is probably the worst decision you could ever make. Never let go of God!

This blog isn’t long nor is it outstandingly great in grammar. But when you have to share what God has given you, say it. No matter how short or long, because it’s not about the length, size or the immense words you use, it’s about the message. I was talking to someone in the car, and he said communication isn’t about how well you speak; it’s all about telling your message and getting through successfully. If someone has found a stepping stone in their life through your experiences and your testimony because you shared it, then you’ve successfully showed what you intended to portray and that is How great is our LORD GOD! Run after him cause I know I am.
