Just for thought

Everything comes from God alone.Everything lives by His power,and everything
is for His glory. Romans 11:36

Its not about you. You were made by God and for God. Life is about letting God use you for His purposes. Do you know God's purpose for your life? Do you understand how all the pieces of your life fit together? Have you become what God created you to be? God made you for a reason and your life has profound meaning. Nothing matters more than knowing God's purposes for your life, and nothing can compensate for not knowing them. There are eternal consequences to what you do with your life. Major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, underserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies will test you.

Give God yourself.
Life is not about you. Prayer is not about you. Prayer was made by God and for God. Begin each day with God. Ask God for wisdom. Ask God to direct your steps. Pray that His will be done in your life. Every time you trust God's wisdom and do whatever he says, even when you don't understand it, you deepen your friendship with God. Problems force us to look to God and depend on Him instead of ourselves. I pray that God will be glorified in our lives and in His church, both now and forever.

Hello

Thank you for that post. It was just what I needed today. This weekend has been intense and quite dramatic. There was one point early Sat a.m. that I prayed to God to help me and that I would - again - give myself over to Him!

Anyway, your words touched me and felt as tho they were written just for me! God bless you!
