For HIS Glory

[Mason Butts]

I do what I do because I believe that I am getting to closer and closer to living how I was created to live. I am not perfect and I am never going to be, but I can strive daily to love and live by faith. I live for Jesus Christ and for His glory. I want to live a life that shows I am not worth anything, but He is worth everything. Jesus has changed my life and shown me that the objects of this world will never satisfy me. The way that people view me and the friends I have will never satisfy me. I will not be able to fill my infinite need for love except by the love of a perfect and infinite God. Many times a day I remind myself (often times failing at this) that I am one person, at one school, in one country, on one planet, in one solar system, in one universe. I am very very small to say the least, but my God can span the galaxy with the palm of His hand. When I truly saw myself as the unsatisfied broken person that I am, and saw God in His majestic glory, that is when God becomes your life. I want to give Him everything because He is so good. He has saved me from myself. My own devices are never good enough, and my efforts will always fail. But He is the master of all things and His hand guides my life and me. My problem is that I think that I can be God. I think I can do things on my own and in my own strength. But God wants me to trust in Him, to find my joy and hope in Him, and to abide in His love. This love is what pushes me to do what I do. I want to serve, love, speak to, take care of, and enjoy the people around me. I want to reflect what God has done in my life with the hope that others may see how good God is. I am a broken person like the next one but God has restored me and I live for Him.
