I'm in college. To get a degree. To get a nice job. To pay the bills.
NO.
Since I started college, I've prayed that God would move materialism out of my life. God has truly held me accountable on that. I saw all these nice things like tory burch shoes and everyone's cute puffy vests. Daddy, I need this, I need that. Oh forgiveness is a must. GOD HAS GIVEN ME EVERYTHING I NEED.
He is enough and when will we start realizing this?! It took me 19 years. I don't want to be in this mindset that I'll be comfortable forever. The majority of the world, isn't comfortable. My life is NOT more valuable than theirs. Blessings this, blessings that.
"It is more blessed to give than receive." - Jesus Christ
I started out with my major being Pre-Med, but I realized that that was just crap. I was in it to have nice things, be independent (completely contrary from the Word), and I'm really good at school. But in reality all of these things are giving ME the glory. As far from the Bible is from East to the West.
But thank goodness that God is sovereign and sufficient. I can rest in that He will provide. He will sustain us because He has given the offering of HIS ONLY SON. If we can rest in the fact that he gave his one and only Son.. you can bet He will give us enough to live according to our purpose.
I'm here to SEEK and FIND Him. I'm here to grow. I'm here to share the Gospel. I'm here to bear burdens. I'm here to live in mutual encouragement. I'm here to be FAITHFUL.
