What I think makes life liveable...
It's hard to put into a few simple words what life is all about. The longer I walk with Jesus and accept by faith that He is God, walked as a man on the earth, died completely sin free, and rose from the dead like He said He would and will come back to get His people someday, the more I realize life is about our relationship with Him and with others. His main command was that we love God with all our heart, mind, and soul and love others. Once a person finds God, loves God, tries to please God in all areas of our life, it becomes easier and easier to love others no matter how unlovely they may be. Forgiveness comes because we love God. Forgiveness comes because God loves us. There will alway be trials in our lives. There will always be heartache in our lives. We are living in a sinful world with many sinful, selfish people but each time we go through something that is not particularly good we learn a new lesson on perseverance, faith, trust, patience, etc. If we are using our God given brain we learn from the lesson and do our best not to repeat it... especially if it's not a good thing!! Smart people learn from one mistake, other's of us have to go through it again and again until we finally see the light!! I enjoy thinking of each day as a new adventure with the Lord walking through that day with me. Sometimes He stands by quietly as I trudge through the day. Other times He whispers words in my ear. Things to tell others. Things to do. Things to watch out for. I try hard to listen most of the time. Usually when I fail was because I wasn't listening and was trying to do it myself!! Each day we need to search for someone to share with or something we can do for Him. Our lives are not really ours but His. When we chose to walk with Jesus we choose to become His child. There is a song that says, "I am not my own, I belong to you." I belong to Jesus.
What about you?
