i've been thinking lately about the meaning of life, of living and what we're meant to do. i think mainly this has a lot to do with the fact that i have learned that my grandma is slowly dying and there is nothing we can do about it. we can just wait on the Lord to show us what is going to happen.
when i think about the meaning of life, i am immediately drawn to Ecclesiastes 12, the passage that tells us to "remember our created in the days of our youth," essentially before it is too late to do so. This is the essence of life. everything around us will fade, all will cease to be as we know it, but in the midst of it all, God is immutable. He alone is everlasting.
The chapter reminds us that we must keep HIS commandments. and THAT is the key to life. THAT is true life, life everlasting, life worth living. otherwise, our life would be a waste because we would be living for nothing and in nothing! living IN God is living a full life. i want to know that when i pass away i REALLY lived.
i'm working on a few things in my life, and i know that my Lord is working in me greatly. i see the change in my little attitudes, in how i love others, in my patience. God is molding me into the woman he wants me to be. i'm so thankful for this!
a song that has really touched my soul the last week is "Fire Fall Down" by Hillsong. It has penetrated my soul because it's everything i want to ask of the Lord and everything i want to tell him. He is alive in me! i want to be covered in His Holy Spirit and i want people to see Jesus' love through me!
Cause I know that you're alive
You came to fix my broken life
And I'll sing to glorify
Your Holy name, Jesus Christ
You bought my life with the blood
That you shed on the cross
When you died for the sins of men
And you let out a cry, crucified
Now alive in me
These hands are yours
Teach them to serve
As you please and I'll reach out
Desperate to see all the greatness of God
May my soul rest assured in you
I'll never be the same
No I'll never be the same
Cause I know that you're alive
You came to fix my broken life
And I'll sing to glorify
Your Holy name, Jesus Christ
You've changed it all
You broke down the wall
When I spoke and confessed
In you I am blessed
Now I walk in the light
In victorious sight of you
Fire fall down
Fire fall down
On us we pray
As we seek
Fire fall down
Your fire fall down
On us we pray
Show me your heart
Show me your way
Show me your glory
