Who are you living for?

I hope today's headline makes you curious. "Who am I really living for?"
Let's ask the question another way; Who could you be living for?
I believe you could be living for yourself, your family/other people or God.
There's nothing wrong with taking care of other people. It's good to take care of and fill other peoples' needs. It's not so good if your primary goal in life is to live for yourself and fill your own needs and your needs only. That's called selfishness, and the Bible has something to say about selfishness.
"But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger" (Romans 2,8). Wrath and anger awaits the selfish person. Not fun!
Living for God, however, is a whole other story. Living for God means to be filled with His love, and let His love go from you to other people. Your primary goal in life is to please Him, and in so doing you also bless and take care of other people. God's love, which "... hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us (Romans 5,5), is a living, ongoing force in your life that brings life, health and prosperity to your life and the lives of those around you.
Want that life? It's free - for you. Somebody paid the price, His name is Jesus. He paid so you and I could take it for free.
Who are you living for? Decide today that from this day forward you will live for God.
