Looking back my 21 years of life, I have truly been blessed with much. God is good, and He can't help but be good to me. Not that He is indebted to me, no way, it's just consistent with His nature of a good God; therefore He is good to me, and everyone else on planet earth.
Every struggle that I went through, He was there, right beside. Every moment I am alive, He is here with me, but in my blindness and ignorance, I miss Him most times. I try so hard doing things for Him, in the name of service, but who am I to serve this great King?
Father,
I want to know You more for the rest of my life. I want to know that joy in knowing Your heart, and because I know Your heart, I know what to do with my life, that is to live purposefully for You, for that ONE dream You have planted in my being from the beginning of time. I don't want to serve You because everyone else is doing the same, and I don't want to use that word - serve. Being one with You only means that ALL of me enjoys being in Your presence, in all that I do. Quiet time is NOT suppose to be a discipline, but really just wanting to spend time with the person I love. It's never meant to be a 'doing', but rather a 'being'. I want to come to that place where ALL I want to do is to please You, the author and perfector of my faith. Thank You for these 21 years of knowing You. As I start my 22nd year of life and onwards, may this joy be even more complete each day.
May this be the cry of each of our hearts and may this journey in life bring us to greater understanding of the Father heart of God.
