Guidance

I think what really struck me in this post was how the purpose of creatures is to study God's character so that we may reflect His image in our lives and set out to do the work that He wants us to do: for His glory to be revealed in our lives. It was crazy to me to think how different my life would look like if i choose to live by and remember these truths about God: that I received everything from God, that I belong to God, that I am surrounded by Him and His love, that my fate is in God's hands, and that my eternity is to be with God, in a companionship of unspeakable delights. How differently would our lives look if we actually lived out and truly believed these truths. I think I fall into the trap of so often forgetting who God is and who He is in my life. I think that it's all about me and my time when in reality, I, as a creature of the  Creator, living in the Creator's hands, exist not for myself but for God. We forget that we were not meant to control our lives on our own and do whatever we want but that we were created to love God forever and to serve Him from that love motive. I really want to write these truths down somewhere and just see how I would live my life differently by constantly remembering who God says He is.
