I've done everything for the wrong reasons. All the good works people credit to me are nothing because I did them expecting God to repay me. I thought if I worked hard enough, God would have to give me what I wanted. The truth is I've never served the Lord at all. I was always serving myself.

You are free, you just don't know it" ~Michael to Sarah

I used to believe the purpose in life is to find happiness. I don’t believe that anymore. I believe we are all given gifts from our Father, and that our purpose is to offer them to Him. He knows how He wants us to use them.

I gave up what I can't keep for something I can never lose.

...for some of us, one mile can be more to walk than thirty.

Better the discomfort that leads to repentance and restoration than temporal comfort and eternal damnation.

That is one of the reasons I write: to feel the Presence of God and know He is speaking to me in a very personal way, instructing me, correcting me, redirecting me.
