What does God want to do with our lives?
First and foremost, He wants us to be saved, and to have all the eternal blessings He has to offer. Secondly, He wants to use us to build His kingdom. He wants us to be involved in good works, that He prepared beforehand for us to do.
What are those good works? They are acts of ministry to others. Matthew 25:34-40 tells us what kinds of acts of ministry we can be involved in. And it doesn't stop there. Wherever there is a need, we are to be there on behalf of Christ, to meet that need. "...Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did unto Me." (v.40b)
For those of us, who are busy pursuing our own selfish pursuits, preoccupied with the frills and thrills of the world; it's time to wake up to the real purpose for our lives. We spend all out time, digging for the treasures of the world, when God has much more blessings, and much more of a purpose for our lives.
We were not made for this world, but we were made to head towards our heavenly home, and to take as many with us as we can. God has big plans for our lives. Let's not just place ourselves in a small frame of mind. But let's be open to all that God wants to do, in us, and through us.
He will help us to make a difference, For Him, for others, and indeed, for ourselves. GP
