What are you REALLY Living for?
I am curious about this question. What are you really living for?
I don’t mean, what do you say you live for, or what would you like to live for. But, ask yourself some hard questions and see what you find. What is driving the decisions you make in life? Is it to belong? To be well known? To make money? To feed your family? To follow Christ? To find friendship? To find happiness?
I think for all of us who call ourselves followers of Christ, we like to say that we “live for God.” For many of us, this is true. For many of us, this is true only part of the time. For some of us, its never really true and we, maybe without even realizing it, are totally living for something completly different. For those of us who wouldn’t call ourselves followers of Christ, this is also an important question.
I opened up the ability to make annoymous comments so you could freely respond if you want.
So, here’s the quesion: What do I live really live for?

What I really live for is so vague that I don’t know if I can even identify it. Or maybe it’s just that it shifts around so much that it’s hard to pinpoint. It’s rarely God, I can tell you that much!
I know that I enjoy doing the “right thing” sometimes, but is that because it’s pleasing to God or just because it gives me a positive feeling about myself? Too often it’s probably the latter.

What do I live for? Most days, by God’s grace, helping to advance His kingdom. Other days? Advancing matt’s kingdom… how do I know?
What you live for is easy to tell by a few things:
1. What do you spend your money on?
2. What do you spend your time doing?
3. What do you talk about most often.
