It isn't enough just to exist. We were not created to just be here and take up space and hope that our lives turn out well. We have to work at being children of God. God created us for His enjoyment yes, but we still have our part to play. He gave us the freedom, but we need to take up our crosses daily and live the way God wants us to. I feel this is our obligation to Christ.
Every relationship has a give and take.
It is hard to go from living one way your whole life and then becoming someone completely different. I am learning this on a daily basis. I have a bad habit of expecting the worst in bad times instead of having hope. I am trying to give up control that I really don't have in the first place and put all my trust in God. That is the start for me living right. I know next I want to work on how I treat others. I want to be able to get to a point where it is like second nature for me to love a complete stranger or even someone that I don't care for, or who does not care for me very much. This is the challenge at hand. This is the way God wants us to live. I feel if I can at least work on it then I have brought God some glory with my life.
I don't want to just exist. I want my life to please Him. God please give me the grace and wisdom to achieve my goals.
