Who are you living for?

Some questions stop us in our tracks and hurt our feelings a little. Have you ever noticed how one direct question from God can so completely speak to your soul?

He knows all about us. Our thoughts, feelings, and intentions. While we might hide things from others, or even ourselves, we can’t hide from God. That’s why when He asks us a question, we know that He already knows the answer. 

The questions are for us. If we answer them honestly, we can see the things we don’t want to see. 

I’m there, sweet friend. In a sea of possibilities, but I’m afraid to take the leap of faith. I know I am so close to the breakthrough. And yet, I get distracted by things that are none of my business and end up wasting my time. 

As I write this, I feel the spirit of my Lord. Writing opens my eyes to things I don’t want to see. My journal entry just made me cry. Right now, I want to do anything but sit in this seat and listen to the words. Because some of the words hurt my feelings and expose my faults and failures. 

I want to go outside, scroll social media, do anything to stop the words and end the connection. But I also know the price for running away is higher than I want to pay. So I stay in the discomfort and let it reach the deepest parts of me. 

Sometimes the only way to end the pain is to sit with it. As much as it breaks my heart, I want God to show me where I am and how to get to where He wants me to be. I want to break free from the strongholds of the enemy and live fully for my Lord. 

I want to acknowledge my faults and failures and ask for forgiveness. I want to stop this cycle and be the best I can be. 

When I think of all that God has done for me, my heart rejoices in His goodness. That’s what I want to focus on. I want the light of my Lord to illuminate my life. The only way for that to happen is for me to be close to Him. The closer I get to God, the more His light will reflect on me. 

2 Corinthians 4:6 KJV

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

I truly want others to see and feel God in me. I want them to hear Him in my voice. See Him in my smile. Feel Him in my touch. And know that I care. 

Living for the Lord is not easy. The enemy fights our steps. But I’m so thankful that God intervenes and His presence runs him away.
