Starts with God
In spite of all the advertising around me, how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?
Purpose Driven Life, p. 21
When I start to move my focus away from myself, suddenly it seems there are more to life than me. In an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, Robert was worried that our lives were like fruit flies (only lives for 24 hours) — meaningless. But as God’s servants, we are meant to be more, and do more than that. God said in Colossians 1:16b (MSG) version:
Everything to started in Him, and finds its purpose in Him.
God is my creator, I must look for Him for answers. I also have to read the bible, for it is my creator’s owner’s manual. I must start by getting to know God. It’s not about me.
