"What do you live for?"
I heard this question today as I was listening to the christian radio while driving the van. Paul said in Philippians 1:21 "For me to live is Christ..." It made me think, what do I live for? Self gradification? I at times find that I can be very self centered and care only for me and not others, if I live for Christ than I would put others first and strive to please God and not man. I am telling you this because I have been a poor testimony of a Christian, one who has given her life to Christ,one who reads her Bible and prays daily and strives to live the way that a follower of Jesus should. I take going to church seriously and studying the Bible seriously(I went to Bible school for a reason). I should be encouraging you all and praying for you(which I do). I shouldn't be timid to stand up for what I believe but do it gracefully and not preaching. I think that actions speak louder than words when it is needed. I am not doing a very good job at explaining myself. I go back to the question, "What do you live for?" I want to live for Christ and I want those around me to see that and know that I am set apart and will live a life that is pleasing to the God that I love and serve. If I have acted in a way to cause you to wonder 'who I live for' I am sorry. I want to be a better wife, mother, daughter, and sister. And I pray the same for you.
Thank you all for you love.
