Everything Through Him

Gift of Life

"The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

                    - Romans 6:23

Every day, we wake up, cook our food, drink water, wear our clothes, have the breath to live, etc. Then, we get ready to enter our workplace or school.  When we look at the things around us, we get to see the beauty of our nature, neighborhood, families as well as friends. Then, we go shopping at the mall, drink a cup of coffee in a nearby coffee shop, talk to our friends, listen to our class discussion, eat our lunch, work out from the gym, and we are still breathing. Living in the moment, and constantly able to experience life itself.

Yes, I mean everything every day. From the moment we wake up to the moment we sleep. If we think about all of this, we wonder about what made life significant and who made life itself capable of creating everything into existence? Moreover, we think of God. He who wakes us up every single day of our lives, because we have a purpose and a reason to live. He gives us chances as well as opportunities to be able to receive all His blessings, love, mercy, at the same time His goodness. Each day is a blessing that God gives us. It's an opportunity for Him to show us His works, experience His miracles, and give blessings in our lives.

Isn't it amazing, knowing that God created us for a purpose to live? He has a plan for each one of us, whether we know our purpose or not. God knows what is good for us. All we have to do is do the will of the Lord, together with trusting Him for everything. Even if we may face many obstacles or when we don't know what is ahead of us, we must put our faith in God. For He knows all things, through Him there is everything. We just have to be patient, be still in the process, as well as to wait for things to come by putting our faith in Him. Because sometimes, good things take time. There are things that are meant to be for us yet some aren't. We just need to trust God at all times, even if we don't clearly understand why things happen the way they are.

Everyday is a day to rejoice as we receive the blessing of life God has given us. He even gives us the things we need, like clothing, shelter, materials, and food. God also gives us good health, protection, mercy, acceptance, at the same time, forgiveness every day. Moreover, the skills, talents, gifts, knowledge, wisdom as well as decision-making are truly given to us by the Almighty God.

So, make each day the best day possible, as if you aren't affected by anxiousness or worry. Worry is a thief that rubs our happiness - it's the enemy's way of attacking us and distracting us instead of trusting God. The gift of experiencing what it is to live in this world is truly a wonderful gift from Him. His creation that includes everything, even you, is special because he made things possible in existence.

It truly amazes me to know that the Lord wakes me up each day for a purpose to fulfill His plans for me. Also, he gave me the opportunity to feel and experience His glory in everything every day. I'm more than thankful as well as grateful for everything that God gives me.

I'm inspired to walk with God so as to be strengthened by faith in Him. He created us, gave us what we need every day. That kind of love from our Creator is everlasting. As His children, we are made in God's image to have a relationship with Him by strengthening our faith, worshiping God at all times, and putting Him first before anything else.

Every day is a blessing and a gift of life that God gives us. Make use of every day to live in goodness and righteousness according to His will. It is in Jesus Christ that we are saved from the fires of hell and it is in Him who cleanses us from all righteousness and forgives us from all of our sins - if only we accept Him as our Lord and Savior.

God loves us and cares for us. For we are all fearfully and wonderfully made in the likeness of Him.
