"For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." Rom14:8

I am a child of the King and I belong to the Lord. Does the life I live glorify him? Is my life in His will? Do things other people say get me down or discourage me? Whom shall I fear? I am the Lord's no matter what. Psalm 118:8 says " It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." So, we ask ourselves: Where is our confidence? Often times in this world with our struggle, our confusion, or even sometimes the opposite of that being our human nature and born ability to get caught up or excited about the world, our confidence is pulled or placed in other directions, other paths, other things or people. Sometimes, we let things other people say or do affect us way too much. Now I am not talking about the good advice we can get from older people or the instruction a wiser one can offer. I am talking about looking for the bigger piece of the pie and relying on someone or something of this earth to somehow bestow that upon you so much so that you lose sight of where your real treasure is. You know how I feel about my life? Often times I feel confused. I tend to wonder what life would be like if if if.......... Which then leads to me comparing myself to others, which leads to lowering my self confidence. Well, isn't that appropriate? You see God means all things for the good for those that love him. Romans 8:28 You see my confidence would be better and stronger if I put my trust in the Lord and not myself or any other mortal being. I have been crying out for some time wondering what God's will for my life is. What am I supposed to do? Who am I supposed to be? These things are new to me, I am still on the milk. However, in this quest, this journey, we call life, which is now no longer just a life on earth but, an eternal life with my Father in Heaven, I have to question myself. My motives? Am I seeking His kingdom? Is it really HIS will I am searching for? Is it for HIS glory and his alone? The fact of the matter is we are human and are not always where we would like to be. Is it possible? If we could then why would we need a savior? Why grace? Oh sweet grace. So, we struggle and we fall. If I understand correctly it will be this way until the final homecoming. This battle. This war within. So, what is God's will for my life? What are my duties on earth? I should put my trust in Him and thank Him for Christ's spirit within me constantly reminding me of who I should be glorifying. "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day" II Cor. 4:16
