All For Himself

As a child many of us were prepared for life by our parents or a guardian; we were given instructions and guidance to help us find our purpose in this life, that we may be able to survive as adults.  Perhaps your parents prepared for this life and encouraged you that your purpose is whatsoever you desired for yourself. Whether it is to be a professional, intellectual, celebrity, athlete, artist or any other occupation you pursue; and if by chance you are content and maybe even successful, then you become persuaded that this is your purpose in life. That God created you to do, what it is that you do.
But beloved the truth is: God created you All For Himself. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. That would be you and I, we are his creation for himself; but even so the bible tells us in ~Isaiah 43:7, “Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
So you the Lord made you for himself and created you to glorify him in all that you do. He created you to praise him to worship him to serve him, to please him. And his pleasure is to have us all for himself to love for eternity, to shower us with his wonderful grace that we may enter into his rest, to be with him in the Kingdom of Heaven. He said in John: If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
And even if you choose not to serve him, but deny his love, and refuse to come unto him. He still loves you and is patiently waiting for you to come. But know this; if you choose to serve another master, the devil, then your life will end with eternal damnation. For Proverbs proclaim: “The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil” ~Proverbs 16:4

So beloved when you seek to know your purpose in this life, seek him who made you All for himself

One Thing I Desire

As I think of all the things I desire, more than anything in life; it's to live forever with the Lord Jesus Christ. You see that's truly where my affections are. Above...in Heaven. No, I don't want to be rich more than anything in this world, because just like this dust of a frame that am, that will dissolve and fade away to be no more, so will all the fortune, fame and wordly things that I would hope to obtain. Oh what a joy it would be... to be with Jesus for Eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven.

So I live today in this sinful, perverse and wicked world, with Joy...Unspeakable joy, knowing that if I just hold on to my faith, that he'll soon be back for me, as he promised. If I be obedient to his word and keep myself unspotted from this world, one day he'll crack the sky and come for me, his beloved bride. I dare say if you don't have the same desire, then surely you don't know how good and sweet the Lord is. Surely you don't know him, and why he died for you. You don't know the power of his resurrection. If this is you, who don't share my desire, please join us here at this spiritual blog and allow us to minister unto you, that you may Taste and see, that the Lord is Good.
