Somedays I feel so numb. That is an understatement because the majority of my life has felt like it's been on auto pilot. Or the feeling like I am stuck in a rut, fork in the road. A big fat question mark is in front of me, asking what do you want to do with your life? This is something I have been contemplating recently. I've always known what God wants me to do which is ironic because I never took action with it. He even gives me the tools to use such as His Word and sacraments, christian parents, teachers, and pastors and yet I avoid them and strive to do things the way I want to do them. Because life is all about ME ME ME ME, right?

Wrong! This is something our sinful human nature destroys us from the inside out. Making us feel that pleasure and quick bliss of doing things the way we want to do them. But what about the Creator? The one who made all things bright and beautiful. No one gives Him the credit and the glory. Okay, maybe we do say a quick thank you of gratitude to Him once a week in church and then carry on with our busy lives. And then we wonder why we don't actually feel satisfied and happy with our lives.

God wants to talk to YOU! He wants to hear from you every singe day. He's saying, "Here, I have so many of these resources that you can use and learn from. Take it!" And when we don't take His word or sacraments, He is still there. Still reaching out for us, calling by our own names. Dive into His word today because we are all sick and in desperate need for a Savior. He has the answers to our whole lives so take hold of Jesus. Go to the cross where he died for YOUR sins. Now we can go into the world boldly, preaching the good news to all people. God never leaves or forsakes us, He brings comfort to us and stated, "For I am with you always to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20
