Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2
Ever wonder, “Is this it?”
You wait your whole life to grow up. To finally be on your own.
Time passes and life doesn’t turn out how you dreamed.
Haven’t met “the one” yet.
Yes, you love your job, but even that begins to get old. Redundant.
After all, it’s almost every day.
You enjoy the freedom to buy what you want within the confines of your budget.
But after a while, even that novelty begins to wear thin.
You search for a new hobby, landing on something great.
Lasts a bit, you meet some new friends, but again, after time, it gets old, too.
So you ask yourself again, “Is this it?”
Fast forward and you’re approaching your fifteenth wedding anniversary.
Yes, it’s been wonderful. The love of your life lives with you!
And the children are simply perfection. Except when they act soley within their flesh, which happens too many times in your opinion.
The monotony of this stage becomes routine and you ask yourself, “Is this it?”
Each stage of life brings this question. We think of the next part romantically, as if boredom or loneliness will not be our friend.
Yes. That’s the answer to your question. Yes, this is all this life has to offer you.
But the biggest piece of your life, making the most difference, is Jesus.
When Jesus isn’t the center of your world, life simply crawls by in dull excitement at best.
But Jesus fills the void our bodies were created with. A void that can only filled by God Himself.
Ask God to fill you. Ask God to walk alongside you each and every day.
As He dwells within you, humbly submit to His ways as He guides your every step.
Each day can become pregnant with fabulous possibilities as you focus not on yourself, but on Him and Him alone.
Instead of asking, is this it, you will be declaring, this is it!
Return your focus back to God. After all, life really is all about glorifying Him.
