What Lies do we live for??
- Just a little wont hurt.
- I can stop anytime.
- Why wouldnt God want me to do it, if it makes me happy?
Some of us live, hording our money greedy for ourselves never being happy with what we have. We tell ourselves if only I had _,_,_ i'd be happy.. then if we do get that or more money it doesn't actually make us any happier. We can constantly true and put our try, our efforts, our time an money into earthly things, but it will never satisfy. The flesh loves to believe lies especially materalistic lies. I dont know about you, but for me what would make me happy? A pair of new Sperry's or spending my money impacting the poor, or the less fortunate. Yes, I have ALWAYS wanted to travel soooooo badly, but honestly if someone gave me $2,000 for plane ticket I would take it and go to Africa,or some country that I could SEE God's work and NEED for me, and see a glimpse of what LIFE is actually about.
Mark the pastor at Mission Community Church.. preached out of John 14 tonight, and talked about what the Holy Spirit is and what it can do for our life and why we need it! We need to listen to the Holy Spirit , the HolySpirit is what guides us, and comforts you.
"Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them."
I do not know what I wil do after I graduate, or what I am doing right now. But i think I realize every job fair I go to just seems.. silly in a way to me. When I hear what the job entities.. I just realize I want a job with a greater purpose. I want a job that is living Gods word out everyday. I met with Mary today and she told me how after she finises her masters she wants to get an internship with World Vision.. Thats something I want to do.
I AM NOT saying regular businesss jobs are bad because those are so important that is a witnessing place All the TIME!! But i just need to be doing something MORE with my time. It is not always about our happiness, But to just LOVE God and want him to use us. I know I have a dying yearn for it in my heart!
Powerful post Jen!
