He created ME right? But for what and to make what decisions in life? And how do I make sure I'm best pleasing Him with the decisions I make? Am I keeping Him number one? Is He priority in my life or do I follow my selfish ways?
Recently I've had to look within myself due to life circumstances. I notice people tend to look at a person and define them by the actions they see. For example, I have one friend who is known to be a very giving and caring woman because whenever people are in need, she extends open hands. However because she's recently lost her job, it appears as though she would be considered more of a begger unless you knew her character. See, even in this difficult time, she would give to me before she fed herself. - Character not effected by circumstance. I have another friend who is known to be a "Christian" by her proclamation, however, everything that flows out of her mouth and her actions speak to her not living for Christ.
As I thought about this, I even recognize the many that begin to follow Christ and fall away. Some repent and return through proof of their actions and the rest of their lives, whereas others stay stubborn til their dying day. I'm reminded of David and Samson, Mary & Martha, Daniel, and all the men & women of faith in Hebrews 11. They all messed up, but in the end day, they all showed where their loyalty stood.
I'm reminded of the songs "Who am I" by Da TRUTH and "Beautiful Ending" by BarlowGirl. What a tragedy when one lives for Christ and loses sight of the love He has shown to the point that their ending results in selfish desires leading self-destruction. When one chooses self over Christ, losing the steps paved for them and falling into the worst ending of it all.
At the end of it all, I want to be in His arms.
