Smash, my life is not in shambles, but that doesn't mean I am content to leave it where it's at. God loves me just I am, but loves me too much to leave me where I am. He wants to see me reach my full potential and that's something I want, as well. My faith has everything to do with it. I can't do anything on my own. I need His strength and guidance to carry me on, because without Him, my life would definitely be in shambles. You ask me how I can say my life is not in shambles? My answer is because God is in my life. He makes everything new. Don't judge me yet, He's still working on me. Again, things could be much better than where they are now and I want to get there, but at the same time I cannot be ashamed with where my life is at right now at 8:45 pm CST Wednesday, January 14, 2015. With God's help, I'll get there. Without His help, I won't. Simple as that.
God's Kingdom is about serving others. And since your deeds reflect your faith...whom are you serving?
Are you serving your parents when you're continually a financial burden to them?
Are you serving your employers when you regularly miss work and get fired for poor performance?
Whom are you serving, other than yourself?
