♪♫ He’s The Only Reason I Live…

The following song has been on my mind this morning:

I've been blessed with so many things, God's been good to me
I have family and friends who share in all I do
But if I lose it all and I am left with nothing
If I have the Lord I know I'll make it through
Chorus:
He's the only reason I live, but oh, what a reason
He's the only reason I live, but oh, what a reason
There's nothing in this world worth living for
It only leaves you empty and longing for more
Oh, He's the only reason I live, but oh, what a reason
Verse:
Now you may have tried a lot of things to find real happiness
But if you've looked very long, then you know it can't be found
Until you find the Lord, in the power of His Spirit
Jesus will be your reason to live and He'll never let you down

I have truly been blessed with so many things.  His goodness is really difficult to explain is just a few words.  First of all, I woke up this morning to another day of opportunities to be a blessing to someone.  And, I have a nice home, a beautiful SUV, a great husband, awesome kids, great in-laws, a wonderful church and church family…I could go on and on.  But even more than that, I have great God who has supplied ALL my needs according to His riches in glory.  If it were not for Him, my life would be in shambles.  I would have no peace, joy or contentment.  He is everything to me.  I don’t even want to try to live my life without Him.  I want the Word to be my guide and map to this journey in Life. And, I want adhere to what it says…not to just the part that I like and discard the rest. But, to apply it all to my life…striving to the best I can be fore Him. So that I can  live my life and have it more abundantly in Him!

The devil will try to make us believe that this world has so much to offer…compromise our standards…change a little here or there.  Oh, it may bring us satisfaction for a while…but in the end, it will leave us empty and longing for more.  With Jesus, continual peace and contentment is available knowing that He is in control and that He will always be there whenever we need Him.  He will not fail us nor forsake us. 

I guess today is one of those days that I am overwhelmed in my heart with praise and thanks for all that God has done in my life.  And, the fact that He isn’t even done yet!  He has so much more He is going to do!  He has a plan and purpose for me that is full of infinite possibilities!  I am excited about living for God and I am going to bloom where He has planted me!  ♥
