Gain Christ

All things are for you. Lord, what we do, what we do not do; it is all for You and You alone.

Everything is about gaining Christ. Truly in all that we go through, in all the decisions that we make, there is only one aim. It is all to lead us to Christ. For us to know Him more. It is vital that we remember and be reminded of this fact constantly. Nothing else is as important, everything else is secondary.

To that end, that is why we do our Quiet Time everyday. If this life is all towards Him, then we should spend TIME with Him. Through daily Quiet Time, we remain constantly in touch with Him. Through this, we will know Him more and more. Through this, we come to know His will and His plans for us.

Furthering this, constant prayer will. I don't know about you, but I enjoy the constant communal with Him through prayer. It is having your best friend walk with you, every step. Since we desire companionship, it is wonderful that we can have it all the time with Him. Why not claim it? He wants you to.

This is why we go to church. Don't go because someone ask you to. Don't go because you have to. Rather, go because you want to seek Him. Because you want to receive from the Lord. Go, so that He can move in your life and those around you. Go, to experience His goodness, His mercy, His grace. Go, to praise Him, to worship Him and to glorify Him. Church is not a weekly gathering that we do out of habit. Church is where we meet with God, seeking Him and learning of Him.

More than that, this purpose should dictate our every move. The events that we go. The work that we do. The service that we give. Whether we go full time or work in the marketplace. It is all to serve Him and to know Him. When we do this, we can't go wrong. For it is not us, it is Him who leads us through the right path.

Thank you for this revelation, Lord. Thank you, for Your wisdom.
