“It is not living that matters, but living right.”

The gift God gives to everyone is life. You get to choose how you live your life. You can choose to go through life and not interact with anyone or you can choose to be a blessing to everyone around you. It’s pointless not to know what you’re living for in life. You can spend all your time talking about how bad your life is, but that will get you nowhere.

Living for God is what gives my life meaning. I have a purpose. Everyone that God created has a different purpose in life. To find out what your purpose is, you need to search God’s heart and find out what God wants in your life. If you love God, He will give you the desires of your heart. There is nothing more satisfying.

I recently watched someone I love die. At his funeral, we got to look back and see what an amazing dad he was and the impact he had on his family and friends. You could see in his life that he lived whole heartedly for God. It was obvious his life was fulfilling. He lived right and you could see God was proud of him.

I want to look back on my life and see that I lived right. When I die, I want people to see that I had a good life and that God was why I lived.
