We may not have a gun to our heads, but every day we make the choice: Will we choose to live for God or for ourselves?
When we decide to live for ourselves rather than choosing to live God's way, thats exactly what we do - condemn ourselves to destruction. To some extent, selfishness always leads to death of some sort.
God makes His reality so obvious to us in His creation and in the little "mini-miracles" that happen everyday.
God gives us new strength and perspective when we choose to be quiet with him.
Often, I look up at a Moonlit sky or simply be in awe of God over something he has done and my heart will be so full I cannot speak to say except "I love you".
Prayer is such an essential for me - my life blood. It gives me strength in my weakness and centers my focus on God, away from myself.
First, I want to thank God. He is my best friend, the reason I live, my
inspiration and the reason I do what I do.
