God our Creator

"Your life is to be lived in such a way as to reflect Him, to show the world the character of God--His love, His peace, His mercy, His gentleness. You are to live for Him, to accomplish His will. To miss this purpose is to miss fulfillment. It is to have existed rather than to have lived" ~ Kay Arthur

I don't think there is much to add to this. Sometimes I find it much easier to live this way among other people and struggle to live this way among the people that mean the most to me, my family. My desire this year is to really strive to remember this sentence: "Your life is to be lived to show the world God's character."

I want my children to know and understand WHO God is. I want them to know He's our Creator, He's our provider, He's our peace....

and I want my children to see God in my life. I want them to know I am dedicated to Him, dedicated to serving Him, to learning about Him and that my desire is that they too would love Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.

I want God's character to be seen in the way I live... so now my job is to seek Him on how I can do that better.
