Shocking? Read along first & let me explain.
One has to go back to the Maker if you want to know the primary purpose of the one made.
God made you & me. You were made in the image of God. Genesis 1:26 says, "Then God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ...."
What is this image of God?
What is His essence?
It’s all about LOVE. Because "GOD IS LOVE"(1 John 4:8). LOVE exists because of God. The only reason why we can LOVE is "because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19). God chose to love you before He made the world. Ephesians 1:4 says, "...he chose us in Him before the foundation of the world"
That's it!
The FIRST reason why God made you is to LOVE you!
That's your FIRST purpose.
The good things that you do for God like obeying, worshipping, serving, loving Him back or GIVING God anything is your response to God's LOVE for you.
Your FIRST purpose is ALWAYS to RECEIVE LOVE from God.
That's why He made you!
So, when you find it hard to pray.
When service or mission work feels too tiring.
When obedience looks impossible.
When worship seems boring.
When loving God with your all is too hard.....
Go back to your FIRST PURPOSE by simply saying to Him, "Lord, payakap naman pls" (Lord, please embrace me).
"I am ready to receive your love."
That will restore your soul.
That will recharge your body.
That will refresh your mind.
That will fill up your heart.
That will enable up to PRAY, SERVE, OBEY & LOVE God.
That will allow you to meet your FIRST purpose.
My friend, allow God to LOVE you. You were made for God's love.
God bless your week! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
