All for Himself

As a child many of us were prepared for life by our parents or a guardian; we were given instructions and guidance to help us find our purpose in this life, that we may be able to survive as adults. Now this is a good thing when you are being raised by saved and sanctified parents, that have been washed in the blood of the Lamb, baptized in Jesus Name and filled with the Holy Ghost. You see if your parents are God’s righteous children then you are the seed of the righteous. They understood ~Proverbs 22:6 which says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. They taught you daily as the Apostle Paul taught the church in Ephesus; “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth” ~Eph 6:1-3. Your saved father, a holy man of God understood the word of God commanded him not to provoke his children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. But not all of us had saved parents that raised them according to the word of God. So chances are you were raised by unsaved parents like myself, and although they may have had some reverence to God, they didn’t raise you in the admonition of the Lord. They prepared for this life and encouraged that your purpose is whatsoever you desired for yourself. Whether it is to be a professional, intellectual, celebrity, athlete, artist or any other occupation you pursue; and if by chance you are content and maybe even successful, then you become persuaded that this is your purpose in life. That God created you to do, what it is that you do.

But beloved the truth is: God created you All For Himself. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. That would be you and I, we are his creation for himself; but even so the bible tells us in ~Isaiah 43:7, “Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
So you the Lord made you for himself and created you to glorify him in all that you do. He created you to praise him to worship him to serve him, to please him. And his pleasure is to have us all for himself to love for eternity, to shower us with his wonderful grace that we may enter into his rest, to be with him in the Kingdom of Heaven. He said in John: If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
And even if you choose not to serve him, but deny his love, and refuse to come unto him. He still loves you and is patiently waiting for you to come. But know this; if you choose to serve another master, the devil, then your life will end with eternal damnation. For Proverbs proclaim: “The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil” ~Proverbs 16:4

So beloved when you seek to know your purpose in this life, seek him who made you All for himself.
