This blog is going to be on worship because it think its really important that I as well as other people understand something....
God put everyone on the earth for something....He gave us all talents that he wants us to use for his glory....not ours.
The thing is...it doesn't matter. Nothing that we do matters...ok....thats not totaly true. We matter, we do posative things for people....we make an impact on people's lives...we ARE here for a reason....but God doesn't need us.
God put us on this earth for one specific thing; to use the talents he's given us to glorify and serve him. That is the only reason we are on earth. He's planned out our lives for us, he's died for us so we can be forgiven and live and he rose again so that we aren't alone in this world.
God loves you...HECK he died for you....he DIED for you....on a freaken cross...he had nails in his hands and he never once swore, never once cursed....he sat there and said, "Lord, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing"
We are forgiven for everything that we do....and we are given a chance for a completely new start...And with that start comes a responcibility... He only asks one single thing...and that is to praice him with all that we have....to make him our all in all....
And i know it seems complicated...and i'm not going to pretend to tell you that it isn't....being a christian is a whole new journey of mistakes...but the difference is....we dont' have to pretend we're perfect and we don't have to lie about doing things wrong....
God is there and will always forgive you...which brings me back to my next topic.
Sometimes i wonder...you know? if like...after all of this that Jesus/God has done for all of us....that maybe we should you know?....do something for him? The crazy thing is that he could ask you to die for him....it would make sense...or he could ask you to do crazy things...but all he asks you to do....is just worship him and give him your all....
All he asks you to do is tell other about him and about who he is and about the forgiveness he's given you....the sweet feeling of peace...he doesn't ask for the oppurtunity to take your life away beacuse he already has it...he owns it....he only asks you to love him and to let him use your life in a way that gives him glory and allows you to be joyful in his presense....
is that so hard to believe? is it so hard to just worship him?

um basically that is soo legit !
and SO TRUE !
love you Tessa.
You are just able to throw things out there and make them sound like "DUH ! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?!"
haha
I was going to point out one thing as I was reading it, that he put us on this earth for one more reason, to share his love with others but you beat me ! you said that at the end. so ya
Those really are the only 2 reasons..to love, worship and glorify him and to bring others to know the love of Christ
:)
great job. you share the message so well
Thanks for reminding us Tessa that
'I can't and He never said I could,
He can and he always said he would.'
This is a great little thing to write in your Bible somewhere so you will always remember it is all about Him, it is His story and we get the privilege of being a part of it.
Much love

Tess,
You make me smile. You're a great vessel. Keep letting God pour through you to others.
Love Mom
