Live for Him? How?

soldierforJesus · 09-08-2005, 07:37 PM

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some help. I want to live my life for Christ, I want to put my life in His hands, I want to do everything for His glory. But I don't know how, it just really confuses me. And it's really bothering me too, cause I know He wants me and I need to give Him my everything, I just can't quite get it right. This kinda reminds me of a dream I had a while back,

I was having some issues with some kids in school and then suddenly everything went black, the point of view switched from 1st to 3rd person, and I saw myself running towards Jesus. He was radiating white light in the darkness and He had His arms open and I saw myself run to Him and He held me close and then it ended. This all happened while I was looking from far away, like I was small, but Jesus wasn't.

Please, any advice would be great.

How to live for Christ... it's a relationship

Well, how do you develop any relationship? You spend time with the other person, get to know them, share with them, build experiences and memories together, be honest and considerate of each other...
Jesus is the best friend you'll ever have. Develop a relationship with him

What can you do to live for him? Let your attitude, actions and heart reflect him as you get to know him better. It can be a gradual thing, and it doesn't mean that you can't play sports, go to public school, do stuff with friends, be social... just, as you do all that, be an example of who Christ is

We get to know who he is as a person by spending time with him

Keep praisin!!

Everybody feels that way sometimes, like they can't get it right. We're still gonna struggle with sin sometimes. Whenever you feel weak, or inadequate, go to God in prayer and remember that He will carry to completion what He has started in you, which is a very good work!!
Feel free to PM anytime if ya wanna talk bout anything, I'd be happy to help you however I can!!

Keep praisin the LORD!!

Pray. It's a relationship. Let God speak to you and show you what it is in your life that you perhaps haven't given over to Him fully, and rely on His strength to give Him all. Praise and worship Him. Seek Him. He does speak. Just get wrapped up in Him and decide to fully trust Him every day, no matter what. In everything you do, do as unto Him. Live like Jesus. Follow after Him. Make knowing Him better and growing closer to Him your number one priority. Focus your thoughts on Him. He will guide and lead you; all you must do is believe and be willing to let Him lead and to do what He says and go where He sends. Be willing to let Him lead.
