what we seek in life reveals so much about our character. do we seek the wrong things? if we do, the result is never being satisfied or fulfilled. i tend to lean towards, finding it hard to meet the point of truly being content. do you? as i write these posts it seems i lack in a lot of areas and to be totally candid and real....i do. i suppose i don't pretend to be something that i am not. i am not a super Christian, and to be honest i really don't think most people are. i believe we are all striving to do what God wants us to do. Now, that's not to say that some are not spiritually further ahead than others, but, it is to say that there is not one of us, that do not lack in some way. Perfection doesn't take place until we reach heaven's gates. so, if that's the case it could be safe to say, we are all on this journey attempting to stay focused and reaching forth unto those things which are before, reaching for the finish line and along the way striving to fulfill the life that God would have for us to live. what am I seeking after? What are you seeking after? A life that God would look upon and smile? Or would He be frowning the majority of the time or even possibly be sorrowful? I know for myself I desire for Him to be proud, delighted in what I am doing as one of His children. I think when He looks down and sees my life, there is a mixture of all of the above. Humanly speaking as I said earlier, perfection isn't obtained until we reach heaven. So, I suppose it would be best to say, "What are we striving for?" God knows the heart of each one of us. He sees what our desires are, He sees how we try, what we are driven to be or to become, and what is so amazing is at the same time despite our shortcomings, He loves us with an unconditional love, and knows how imperfect we really are. i believe (and i could be wrong) that He really wants to see that our desires are to do the right thing. He wants to see that we are transparent, and that we are striving to be emptied of ourselves daily only to be filled with Him. when we strive to be filled with Him that's where the contentment comes in, where the fulfillment comes in, and the satisfaction in knowing that we are on the right track at becoming more like Christ. Let's strive at doing what is right. Let's aim for the finish line knowing full well that along this journey we have put forth the effort to strive to fulfil what God wants for each one of our lives. To realize that He is everything that we need and that with His help and guidance we truly can be a Christ follower who strives with every ounce of us to be what we need to be for Him. The world is watching....what do they see?
You Are Everything
