A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. Proverbs 11:28 (MSG)
You did not come out of ‘things’ but from the Everliving God. You were made for more than temporal fleeting ‘things’ which the world calls life. You were made for the Eternal God, for union and communion with Him.True living is engaging in an ongoing intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ. John 17:3. When the Author of Life Himself is fully, freely expressing Himself through you then you’re truly freely living to the fullest. All this begins with knowing Him and living for Him. Examine your life, are you living for the things (creation) or the creator (God).
