What am I here for?

This summer like any other summer has gone bye to quickly! Where have I spent my time? I can honestly say that when I look back at all the other years, the times I remember the most are times when personal growth occured. When many people think simply of themselves, and their own pleasures often this leads to the need to create more pleasures and desires as the spent ones stay behind in our memories. Time goes by like the wind and before we know it we are asking where did it all go. What am I saying then? Is this all wrong to live within our desires? Absolutely.....NOT. God has created us to enjoy life and to live it fully. This is the catch and you can drop it if you like, but there is always a driving force to all the madness of getting everything done in a short summer. When we live only to please ourselves time zips past as if we are standing still. As we always look forward to our next pleasure we can never actually be still and know that "I am God". psalm 46:10. Let us live life...but we need to live as to please God first. When we make God everything in our lives, we can actually "stop time and live in the present" We are free to live today and not stress about tommorow. What joy it gives when we realize, pain, success, or pleasure can lead to a contented life where we long no more for yesterday or tommorow, but live in the present within God's grace and care. God can and will provide person growth in all our circumstances, when we deny ourselves and seek him.
