To Reverence Life
God gives men life-
Why do we waste it? On things, in things that only create a second of bliss that
fades just as quick as it came.
We waste life on substances--drugs, alcohol, un-ordained sexual pleasures, the
pride of life, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes--and other influences, trying
to gain peace and fulfillment that only an inner connecting with the Heavenly
Creator--our Father and All Mighty One can satisfy.
From birth, all men are created with purpose. No one is an afterthought. Not one
of us is insignificant to the Father because He has each one of us inscribed in
the palms of His loving hands(Isaiah 49:16). Not one of us came into being by
happenstance(regardless to how we were conceived).
The Father is the Divine Orchestrator of every life and when we present ourselves
to Him for His glory, He can make a complete symphony of our lives that will
resound with a melody so sweet and melodious that even the angels in Heaven
begin to rejoice and listen in awe.
Life as the Father ordained is to be lived following and pursuing after peace with
all men and holiness without which no one can truly fulfill their destiny on Earth
and for Eternity.
The Father's breath in you gave you life, so embrace it with respect; care and
reverence for the One who created you.
Do not abuse the life the Father has bestowed to you! You only get one chance at
life. Be good to yourself! Be good to others! And the life you live--as the Father
intended--will redound to the more greater reward for you and all mankind.
