What you said hits on my post from two days before: that the purpose of our lives is to glorify God. Glorifying God is all well and good. But a problem comes up when glorifying God conflicts with staying comfortable. I really, really want both, you now? I think that's part of the inspiration for this post. Glorifying God is one thing - giving up everything seems to be a totally different proposition, but it's not. Living that in real life is difficult, to say the least. But as you said, we know that He is beside us "every step of the way... and that's comforting." Amazing. -Marshall Jones Jr. P. S. I saw the woman first, but perhaps that's because the picture was small when I first saw it. Now when I look at it, I see the saxophone first.

Glorifying God is all well and good. But a problem comes up when glorifying God conflicts with staying comfortable. I really, really want both, you now? I think that’s part of the inspiration for this post. Glorifying God is one thing – giving up everything seems to be a totally different proposition, but it’s not.

So simple yet so convicting. You are 100% right.....everything we have is God's. He's just lending it to us. The whole reason we have life is to glorify God's name....not to collect possesions or status etc... I would find it heard to give God my comfort/routine of life. My heart's desire is to serve God....even if it means being a missionary in a foreign land. And that thought scares me.....the newness of a strange land, not knowing anyone or anything....all of it. But I do know He would be beside me every step of the way....and that's comforting. And as far as the picture, I saw the guy playing the saxophone.:) I loved this post! So simple yet so convicting.
