The Sum of all Things.

Without God – my life has no meaning. I can try and create meaning – or follow a formula created by another. I may find meaning for a time – but neither true nor lasting meaning. These creations of mine are usually short lived. The more obvious it is my own creation for meaning – the shorter lived.

So today – I was asked who I was and what I do. I balked. Not because I don’t know. Maybe because I feel I fail so often – but maybe because I feel I’m not allowed to sell it. I can only be a reflector of the Light and people must be drawn. I’m a rather unpolished reflector. But I consider things like – world government, justice, war – peace, racism, sin – my sin, impurity, hypocrisy, selfishness, greed, inequality, sustainability, the environment, the end of the world, heaven, hell, so many divisions in the Christian church. I feel that I want to work it out – and can’t. Somehow – I know – I believe that faith in God is the only answer – and yet even that can sound like an easy way out when telling someone else. Yet for me I know it is true.

So the conclusion:

My life is all about God.

Created by Him – in His image.

Separated from Him – by my sin.

Redeemed to Him – by Jesus.

It can only make sense to live 100% for Him. And when I fail – it doesn’t make His Way any less – but my salvation only greater. Tonight I nail my colours to His mast. I am a disciple of Jesus!!
