Live for God- DUH!

So...its been a while. Some things have changed, some have not. Some days I'm fantastic while others, I just want to disappear. I'm still not completely happy with where I am in life. I know that changes needed to be made, even though they were painful and difficult. Some days I wish I could go back to how things were or change them now so that I could be really happy again. I've found that the happy feelings I get from having a great day, laughing with my friends, or having a really good time and conversation with someone don't always cut it. It doesn't last, it doesn't fill that hole inside of me. I mean, it helps for sure- and I'm sure that God gives me those things as a sign of his love for me. But I keep realizing that I can't live for those things. In the midst of the happiness, joy and contentment- I can't live for those things. In the midst of sorrow, pain, and depression- I can't live for those things.

So what do I live for when those things don't satisfy? God. What do I live for when all the world seems to be against me. God. What do I live for when I don't know where to turn anymore? GOD.

When I'm tired and every class is a stuggle. Live for God.

When I'm feeling overwhelmed by everything in my life. Live for God.

When I'm disappointed by the ones I hold in high regard. Live for God.

When I feel like I've let someone down and that I'm a bad friend. Live for God.

When I feel like I'm failing at being the person I want to be. Live for God.

When my friends don't make me as happy as I think they should. Live for God.

When I'm scared by the new things in my life that are probably good for me and want to cling on to the old stuff that will only bring me down. Live for God.

When I just don't things are going to work out- ever. live for God.

When I see someone I love but know I can never be with; maybe never even speak with again. Live for God.

When I feel like I can't trust myself or the others around me. Live for God.

When the things that give me a high don't last. Live for God.

When I am discontented with the world and doubt everything around me. Live for God.

When I feel alone. Live for God.

When all else fails. LIVE FOR GOD!
