When you give yourself to the Lord you are supposed to give all yourself. This is difficult for several people. Last week I mentioned how I've been praying for the Lord to make me less selfish, and I thought it would result in me living for others... But the result has been slapping me in the face and says to LIVE FOR THE LORD!
Earlier this year when I had a lunch date with God, He kept pointing out that humans are flawed, and not to put your trust in them. So why would I live for them.
Hubby and I have been reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan, and he puts it in terms that more people can understand. He explains in the second chapter that this world is more like one big movie for God, and a person can be seen as an extra in the movie. As an extra with a .5 second clip of yourself, would you tell everyone that the movie is all about you?
I need to wake up in morning and get things accomplished. When I do, I feel so much better about myself. But I have come to find out I can't always be motivated myself, and nothing else really motivates me. So why not wake up and live a full life for God, because that's what He truly wants.
