"Just why am I here?"


WARNING!!!! Before you read today's blog, take a moment and pray for our young people. They are facing many challenges in today's world and many have no where to turn at home or in their community. My prayer is that they and we as well, all turn to Jesus!


God’s grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn’t come from anything you do. It is God’s gift. It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it. We are God’s creation. He created us to belong to Christ Jesus. Now we can do good works. Long ago God prepared these works for us to do. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

 

Ever task yourself some of these questions: "Just why am I here?"  "Why am I in this family . . . at this school. . . . at this job? "What am supposed to be doing? Who really cares about what I am doing"? "Does it really matter"?

Well, we all have asked these questions at various parts of our lives . . . perhaps even today!  The real answers lies with God . . . not people! 

He placed us just where we are in life. He created us to be right here, right now. Our very simple role in life is to please God with all we do. God cares deeply for each of us and everything and everyone matters to Him!

No matter our age, gender (yes, male or female, He has made us!), zip code or abilities, we were created to please God and God alone. If we make others happy or proud along the way, good. If others do not understand us . . . it's ok. 

Life as a CHRISTian is really very simple: Love God . . . Love people! (https://youtu.be/t-29WLQ3trA)
