WHAT IS YOUR REASON FOR BEING
In Him we live and move and have our being….(Acts 17:28).
Our whole reason for existing is to love and honor and praise God. He is our dear heavenly Father. He is the Source of all our life. He is the very breath we breathe. He created us to lavish His love and His gifts upon us. We are the apple of His eye. We are the beat of His heart. We are His children. He is ours and we are His. What a way to live!
David said in the Psalms that his heart pants after God like the deer pants after the water. Think of how thirsty that deer is when he comes to the water to drink. Even so, we are thirsty for the water of God. His Word is called the water of the Word. We drink deeply of Him when we drink of His Word.
He is also our Bread of Life for which we are hungering. He is our sustenance, our reason for living. We eat of Him as we eat of His Word, His Bread, His manna for us.
Focus on Him. Think about Him. Think about His goodness. Think about His all-encompassing love. Think about His greatness. Think about His mighty awesome power. Think about His caring for you. Even as I type this, I am overwhelmed with His never-ceasing desire for me as His child. My heart overflows with love and joy in response to my Creator, to my Lord, to my King. What a God we serve.
