Have you noticed that our God is very intentional? Everything he has created and done, is with purpose. I don’t think I can think of something in creation with no purpose. Your life is with purpose. Your circumstance is with purpose. We look at all of creation and find his hand in it! Do you know what it is to know that he holds the whole world in his hands… dwell upon that! That also means he holds you and I in his hands… I’ve noticed that God really did make us in His image. If you notice, everything reflects his character… Really pause to think about that… God has made us in his image to reflect him, not be Him!!! I always find it interesting how without saying it directly, mankind always try’s to BE God. Mankind has literally become so sinful. Sin is such a dark place to be in… I’m telling you, I love Gods way truly. God teaches me to literally be selfless and he takes care of me. Man, living in God changes everything about you… Think about it, mankind has literally become so wicked. People have literally said that men can have babies. People are trying to figure out how everything was created. I mean it’s not a shocker, time and time again, mankind tends to do that. People are trying to figure out how to modify and distort creation. As if the creator isn’t bigger than them. We human beings are so fallen and our God is still on his throne reigning. Human beings want to be God so much, it’s crazy. Hey, we all fall short of his glory. But at some point we need to realize and be tired of missing the mark. Our Creator has literally made a way and we are choosing to live away from him. I’m sorry but there are just enate things that God has placed in us for a reason. He wants a relationship with us… He doesn’t stop chasing after his creation. He sent his only Son on the cross to die for us and for our sins. So he could reconcile humanity to him and still…. People choose to live without him. I don’t know about you, but I can’t do it by myself. I’ve tried it and it just didn’t/doesn’t go well for me, every time! We choose to reflect Satan sometimes, way more than our actual Creator, God… I could just imagine this is a slap to His face. He created us for him and yet we turn away from him. Imagine creating something so you can enjoy it and have a relationship with it. Only for it to not want you back and it choosing to live for itself. How messed up and saddening that is no? But sometimes this is us… sometimes this is how we treat God. If you have tasted and seen of his goodness in your life, remain in him. Endure until the end and don’t give up, no matter how hard it is. God in his word says,

“Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬”.

We can’t do anything without him, we are fooled to think that we could ever. He loves you and he loves me, let’s bring glory/honor to His name. Remain in him, because it is only in him that we can truly be fruitful.

My favorite words from Artist Chandler Moore “Lead me on”.

I’m not perfect
Don’t always get it right
But I’ll rather walk by faith
And not by my foolish sight

So lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
Please lead me on

Things don’t always make sense, but trust God… God is real and more than alive! 😊
