Is This All Life Has to Offer?

So for those of you who don't know, I haven't been feelin' this quarter at all. School-wise. I don't like my classes and I don't know... the whole "ish" and the whole vibe about this quarter isn't so great.

With that said....

Lately, just about every night before I go to bed I always wonder and ask myself, "Is this what life has to offer? Is this what I'm meant to be doing? What will I be doing in the future? Will I be successful? I hope so.... Will I grow up and find "the one" and have a nice family? I really hope so..." and just questions I don't know the answers to. I could only hope for the best.... right?

Tonight just as I was about to go to bed, the series of questions began flooding my mind again except this time I remembered a quote from the bible I remembered reading when I was preparing for one of my lessons for my youth group a few weeks ago. It's found in the book of Matthew chapter 5 verses 14-16:

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." -NIV

And it not only gave me hope, but purpose, faith, and inspiration.

You see a lot of times we often worry about the future and wonder what our purpose in this world is. Well this verse clearly gives us the answer. We are the LIGHT of the world! We are to be good christians by setting an example on how the bible teaches us how to live! We are to spread the gospel and make disciples as it says in Matthew 28:19.

How do we know if we are being lights of the world? Ask yourself, Throughout your daily lives, Do people see God through your works? What kind of impression do you think you are making on people? Is it a good one? Live for God. Trust in God. If you trust in God every step of your life, then you should know that He will take care of you and He knows what is right for you!

Worry no more. God has a purpose for you!

Until next time, many Blessings!
