Ponder this:
Why else would we be on Earth, other than to serve God?
I tried to blog about this yesterday, but I just couldnt get it to make sense like I wanted it too. I asked God today what I was supposed to write, & He just said: "Erase it, and write". So, we'll see what comes out!
Sometimes, well often I guess, I get this image in my head. (If you've seen Passion of the Christ) its the image of "that" Jesus (thats how I envision [invision?] Jesus). He's standing there in a purple robe with a gold sash, starting into the clouds. But the backround is a dark blue, and the clouds are a whiteish / grey: its lovely, actually. But I randomly think to myself: "I just dont understand how people go on without God". I seriously just wonder that.
For 16 years I went on thinking I had happiness. For 16 years I went on doing things that brought me instant gratification. For 16 years I longed for something that would make me feel like I had worth. For 16 years I begged for attention. For 16 years I longed for something to live for. For 16 years I looked for something to have a passion for. For 16 years I had no one to go to. For 16 years I was unhappy. For 16 years: I was without Christ in my life.
Back to pondering the above statement:
(Again, this is going to be hard for me to get down and have make sense: bare with me!)
Psalm 32: 7-8 says "You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and and surround me with songs of deliverance". The Bible isnt a made up book, let me start from here. If you were to take 10 people: 5 following the "rules" of the Bible, and 5 not following the "rules" of the Bible, who would be better off? I heard on the radio, either 91.9 or 106.9, that the Bible are our guidlines. The Lord gave the words of the Bible to different trusted men to copy down for all to hear and read. From personal experience, following the guidelines of the Bible have helped me so much, and made me so happy. Dont get me wrong, there have been times where I've not followed them correctly: but nobodies perfect! Cept God :) But anywhoos, peole wonder what makes Christians so happy? JESUS MAKES US HAPPY! Helllllllur?!
If you were to really think about this, and I have ... many, many, many times ... why else would we be on Earth, other than to serve God? What other purposes would we have on Earth? The Bible says we are to spread the love and the name of Jesus, and to save our brothers and sisters correct? It just makes sense! Ha! Could you really possibly believe that we evolved from Monkeys? Or that a tiny little cell created us? Or even (whatever the big bang theory is) could have created us? What purpose would we have? How could something like that create us, create our minds, and create us to be on the ONLY planet with life? Hmm?
I just dont understand, how people dont see this: PURPOSE. Again I repeat, what other purpose would we have on Earth other than to serve God?!
THERE IS NO OTHER PURPOSE ON EARTH OTHER THAN TO SERVE GOD!
I've felt the Holy Spirit, I've heard God speak to me, and I've seen Jesus change my life: I know God is real and I know He is the reason I live, move, and have my being. It just confuses me, seriously, that people dont understand this. I cant get this out enough, I feel like Gods telling me to push this: WHY ELSE WOULD WE BE ON EARTH OTHER THAN TO SERVE GOD - because God wants to reunite with all His beautiful children in Heaven one day. We need to save souls, and follow the one who sent His son to die: its not asking alot really. I cant describe this right, I truly cant. Oh wait, download from God:
Were not here just to work, and get tons of $$$$ so we can buy nice cars, live in nice houses, party it up, drink all the alcohol we want, sleep with all the people we want to, and eventually run our lives into the ground. Most people think thats what lifes about. It just seriously amazes me that people want to WASTE it lke that. Life is precious: life can be short. If you really think about how complex the body is, do you seriously think we could have evolved from monkeys? Could a cell seriously make us into something like that? Look at this for a moment, and tell me God did not create us:
This is laminin. Laminin, is protien that forms the subtrate of all internal organs. Overall, laminin keeps our bodies held together. Its not by accident laminin is in the shape of a cross, or that it holds our body together. I personally think of it as a remembrance, and a true shown fact that God created us. God knew the world, and knew us before He even created the Earth. He knew He would have to send his only begotten son to die for us, and loookie: He placed a cross inside our body to keep us together. Now tell me, that God didnt create us or this world?
Yes, this post is scatterbrained and I apologize! But I just wrote as I felt God speaking, and as I felt it coming. So, thuur ya have it.
Why else would we be on Earth, other than to serve God?
And if our God is for us than who could ever stop us? And if our God is with us, than what could stand against?
I'm so proud of you, and encouraged as well. Your spiritual fervor and boldness bring glory to God and you will continue to be blessed. It's hard for us to understand how people cannot see how obvious the reality of Christ is, but the bible says that God must open a man's eyes to salvation before he can understand - think of Hagar, or when Saul became Paul. All we can do is pray that God will use us to reach the lost, but ultimately it is His will and His timing.
