1. For God's Pleasure.
[2Cor 3: 1-5]
Verse 1-4: "Father of compassion" " God of all comfort " ".. who comforts us in all our troubles " " so that we can comfort those in any trouble "
verse 5 : We shouldnt receive all the credits of being competant because our competence comes from God.
We MUST rely on God and His strength to find our purpose in life. Relying only on our gifts and talents to serve Him isnt enough, we must go deeper than that and worship God, our Creator and Provider, for His many blessings and love.
2. For His Glory
Like David in Psalm 57: Even amongst his fears and turmoils, David still talks about praising and glorifying God.
Praise the Lord at ALL times, praise him when you're happy, praise him when you're sad and angry because he controls all things. There IS a reason to why you're going through, what you're going through. And always remember, no matter how hard it seems to overcome this trial or challenge, God will pull you through whatever He puts you through. He'll NEVER forsake you coz He is your FATHER, and YOU are, His CHILD.
3. For His Purpose
[Gen 1:28] " be fruitful and increase in number " " fill the earth and subdue it "
Subdue = Overcome.
[Matt 28: 18-20] " go and make disciples of all nation " " teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you " " surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age "
Listen to God's promise.
When God promises something, He STICKS to it. like a REAL MAN! YEAAAAABOI! =D
So we need to care about the things around us because it's where we have to overcome and tell the people about God's love. To save them before Jesus comes back.
4. For His Delight
[Romans 12: 1-2] " your bodies " " holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship " " Do not conform to the pattern of this world "
[1 Corinthians 6: 12-20] " The body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord " "Whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in Spirit." " Flee from sexual immorality " "You are not your own, you were bought at a price " "Therefore honour God with your bodies "
Stand your ground and know what's right or wrong. Even if you dont know if it's right or wrong, ask yourself. Is this what God wants you to do? how about Jesus, His son. What would Jesus do.
5. Its Not About You
[1 Peter 3] " your beauty should not come from outward adornment " "rather it should be that of your inner self " " unfading beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit " " of great worth in God's sight "
it's what's INSIDE that really matters, LOOK WITHIN.
we should also learn to accept ourselves as God's wonderful creation because if we cant accept ourselves, how are we gonna find out what our purpose in life is??
Look at yourself in the mirror and tell God in all seriousness "
Thank You for creating Me (:
