I have lived 23 years of my life and life is already getting mundane. Nothing is really new - everything is the same old. I was cleaning out my closet, picking out clothes to donate and when I was done, I felt like I accomplished something. But then I thought about buying new clothes, and realized that I'd probably be buying the same styles of the ones I just donated. Because styles are generally... the same. Or more like, my taste in clothes.. is generally the same. And then I thought, man, how many more times in my life will this happen. How many more times will I have to cook my dinner, wash the dishes, vacuum the carpet, clean the bathrooms.... All of a sudden the life ahead of me seemed so daunting. I still have another 60 some years to go... God willing. I've only lived 23.
Is life just about keeping ourselves entertained? our minds off the grind of daily routine?
God, I need your help. I don't want to despise life, which is a gift!
Psalm 63:3
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
God, your love is BETTER than life. It's your LOVE, it's you God - better than life itself. Draw me close to you.
