one reason to live

I feel the most alive...when I'm desiring God.
When I need...just...more of Him.

We have no other meaning in this life, but to seek Him and know Him. We can dabble all we like in this world in which we live, but when all is said and done, everything of this world fails us, then fades away. Careers, status, relationships, popularity...can we find anything at all that endures?

If my life is going to be poured out, I want it to be poured out for God's eternal purpose, for His glory that will last forever.

My loss is nothing, and my gain is immeasurable, when I lay down my life for Him.

"Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him." - 2 Sam 14:14

Dear Lord,
May my life be poured out to bring Your Kingdom, which will last forever. Pour out my time. Pour out my strength - spiritual, physical, emotional, mental - let me make every effort to gain that which will not fade. Pour out my money. Pour out my talents. Pour out everything of me that I hold dear...none of it compares to You. What do I hold so tightly? What do I refuse to offer You? Reveal these things to me. And God, show me the truth. Let the truth set me free from the lie that any of these matter at all. Lead me to the cross, teach me again of the cross. Let me behold the glory of Your love. I want to see You.
Love, Your Mel
