We all have a list of goals. Whether they are life goals, or goals to get through each year, we set goals so we have something to strive for, to plan for, and ultimately, to celebrate. Making goals is like trying to plan our lives out. Although it sounds like a good idea, in reality, it is pointless. Here's why: God has created us for a specific purpose. Our purpose is our life plan. In making goals we must look at it in the same light. God is our goal. He must be. Why strive for anything else when God is the goal we should be striving for. This is why we can't look at our relationship with God as something that is effortless and something we do not have to work towards. We should not look at it as something we have earned. Because God is our life goal, our relationship with Him is something we must work hard at everyday of our lives. It is taking up our cross daily to choose to follow Him. Everyday we must surrender our lives to God so that we remind ourselves He is the goal and He is the prize. The best part is that it's a goal we will one day get to celebrate... for eternity.
Remember: God is the goal.
In what areas in your life is it difficult to let God be the goal?
