The Bible says in the Book of Proverbs 21:2 that, “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts.” Many of us wants to serve the Father, yet, we want to live our lives as we want. Christ came, He didn’t live His own life, but the life of the Father. If He had lived His own life, none of us could have remembered Him today. He had choice to withdraw His Words, so they wouldn’t crucify Him. Instead, He stood firm and embraced death for you and I.

What many of us are enjoying today, many people lived to suffer for it. A man may gather money and build a house, he may end up not living there until he dies. But his children after him will inherit what he laboured for. This is how the Earth is. If a man is alive, his priority is to make sure his children live a better life. He will have to sow some seed that will germinate in his presence, but he may not eat from the fruit until he dies. But his children and their generation will have something to fall upon.

As children of the Father, we should be grateful for the gift of life and always pray for grace to live a good life, a life of the Father, not our own life. Unfortunately, what those who have gone ahead of us laboured for is being destroyed right in our eyes because we love the world. Those who loved the Father valued not their own life, instead, they valued the Father above their own life. Therefore, the Father was able to use them to fulfil His own purpose. But what purpose? For His children! The Father always thinks for the next generation. He always wants the next generation to be better than the present. But we’re all far from where the Father wants us to be. The church of God is worse than the world itself because we’ve all turned the Word of the Father upside down to suit our own style. But one thing is for sure: Heaven is only meant for those who live for the Father. I pray that grace upon grace be given to you and I to please the Father, so He could fulfil His purpose through us.
