I have realised that it is impossible to live for God. I have seen so many people trying to live for God and they fail. So many people get hurt trying to live for God and so many people become bitter trying to live for God.
People just expect a lot from people when they say that they are Christians. We try so hard to live up to the standard that people have set for us and all it leads to is misery. It is very clear to me that it is impossible to live for God.
It is however very possible to allow the Lord to live through us. It is not about us, but it is about Jesus. He wants us to lay everything at His feet, all we have to do is to make a choice and then allow Him to lead us by His grace. This includes everything from being able to read your bible everyday, driving, helping people, working, forgiving, loving, correcting, being corrected, and basically everything. This is possible only by the grace of God.
People like giving compliments and telling us we have done a good job, but basically it all goes back to God. He is the one who enables us to do everything and be who we are. He is the one who gives us strength to be truthful about whom we are. He is basically our helper in everything absolutely everything. God is Good.
