Make It Matter

As I looked out onto the water I was reminded of just how big God is and how small, how very small indeed, I am to Him. Yet, He chose me and loves me. I was given this life because He has a plan for me. For the majority of time that I have been alive I have allowed my past circumstances to consume me. I wasn’t able to truly let it go and move on towards what the Lord has for me. I kept replaying the scenarios over and over. I think the main reason was simply because I was scared but also because I felt like I wasn’t good enough or deserving enough. The truth of the matter is no one is good enough or deserving enough and that is why we need Jesus. But because Jesus died on the cross for all of us and took on our punishment, we were made righteous. We were made sons and daughters of God and the bride of Christ. His Grace is an ocean. Every day we get the chance to wake up and start over. Recently God has been showing me about what matters. I want My life to glorify Christ. Everything I am and everything I have is because of Him! I’m starting to realize the things I take for granted and to show appreciation for those who care about me. I don’t want to be complacent. I want to be a living testimony of a living God. My prayer is this: “Lord take my life and make it matter. Use me for YOUR Kingdom and your purpose.Make me see the world through Your eyes!”I want to be intentional. I want to leave a legacy behind that I loved like Jesus. I want to live my life surrendered to my King! So I encourage all of you to also make each day count and live a purpose driven life!
