I'm Nothing

The last few days I've been reading in Ecclesiastes.  It has been a little depressing reading it but at the same time it shines brightly with hope too.  It expresses over and over that God is the answer.  He is where our hearts, bodies and soul should be.  He is where we need to focus on and turn to.  That without Him we are nothing!  Nothing!  Apart from God, life is empty and unsatisfying.  Without Him we can not be fulfilled.

Reading this has really made me look at my life an dhow there is a time for everything.  And that time is short and how temporary things really are here on earth in this world.  Its important at all times to thing and look heavenward.

Instead of trying to "fill" up our home and lives with what is in this world, the things we think will bring happiness, we need to fill up our eternal home with everlasting treasures of God.  I see now how I've complained and have been so focused on what I don't have and instead I should be rejoicing in the Lord with what I do have now and I will have in Him.

Its almost as if all that we do here is a waste of time and energy, if God isn't apart of it.  Apart of everything! I don't want to concern myself with "items" being left to my loved ones when my time is up, rather I want to leave a legacy of love, His love.

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.  Ecc 3:1

Life doesn't always make sense...but there's still a God who understands.  (so grateful)

Apart from God, life is empty-I'm nothing without Him.
