And by His will I was created and have my being!  God had a will to give me life. This has really made me think.....  If I was created by His will, then He must have a purpose!  My life has a purpose behind it.  He didn't just create me to fill up space, He did it because He had a will for my life.  So many times we "know" this, but hardly contemplate how significant it is that God created us.  I hope I never take for granted the fact that there is a purpose for my life.  I should be seeking God every day to continue my relationship with Him so He can easily display His will for my life.  So I can obey His calling immediately.

Today  was reading in Hosea 4-11 and Revelation 2.  How interesting to read the wrath that God had for Israel.  Israel was acting as a prostitute, because they were giving their hearts to idols. God wanted to destroy them.
Today as I sat at my desk at work and thought about last night I realized something.  God just wants me to share His love with others.  I may not be the best speaker, but can use me the way that I am.  His purpose for my life was never my choosing, but His! I have been asking Him to help me love others the way that He does.  Most of the time people won't listen unless they know you are invested and that you believe in what you are saying and if your actions align with what you are saying, but top it off and love them during the process!  Then I really believe that you will start seeing changes.  Not only in other people, but in yourself.  God will give you a new perspective, a perspective more like His.
