Created For His Glory

Do you ever wonder why God created you? I do, often. But because of what I've learned about Him, He reminds me why He created me.
First of all He meticulously puts us together (Psalm 139:13-14, Exodus 4:11), and we were created because He willed it (Revelation 4:11) . He wouldn't have bothered without a reason.
He tells us what that plan is. In Isaiah 43:7, John 9:3 and Revelation 4:11 He says we were created to glorify Him.

Isn't it awesome that whether we were "planned" by our parents or not, every part of our body, no matter what we look like, was personally put together by the One who created all that exists, in order to reflect who He is? As we go about our daily tasks we give everyone a glimpse of who God is, we display Him.
Yes awesome... and extremely humbling. Every day there are so many things that would keep me from fulfilling the purpose of my creation. But because I have become His child He knows my shortcomings and offers me the strength I need to know I'm forgiven and can still go on to honor Him.

The world cannot understand the joy and fulfillment we have when we no longer wish to pursue our own desires in life and instead pursue a more meaningful purpose by living for His pleasure. We don't really have to wonder what the meaning of life is or why we were put on earth, always trying to fill a void. The here-and-now is not all there is. One day, all that will matter is our relationship with our Maker.
As believers we can count on the sweet fellowship that Adam and Eve had before sin came to stumble us in our desire to be His glory.
