What should I do with my life?

<< < (3/3)

Hi all,

Thank you for all your replies, I shall meditate on them and God's word for a couple of months and I'm sure I will find the answers  ;D I guess this whole thread can really just be summed up by "I'm not satisifed with the life I live but feel too weak to make the changes to make it feel worthwhile"

One thing I believe God is leading me into is helping other people; and not just donating money (already do that) but actually getting your hands "dirty" and helping people. I struggle so much with my flesh because it keeps pulling me away and making me feel "stupid" or "lame" for wanting to help people and I usually give into this and don't bother and just spend more money/time to make myself feel better. Anyone else struggle with this a lot?

I guess as you say it will happen in God's timing not mine but I feel like the leap from donating a bit of money each week to actually say donating some of my time (as an example) is such a giant leap that I just can't make. I know this would really make me happy and that I really should be doing it but I give in to the flesh too easily.

Anyway thanks for all your help I will stay in God's word and I know that he will sort this out in my life; thanks you for all your kind words and advice  :D

Hi space.ace.jase,

Long name ??? word to the wise, when you actually get your hands dirty the great reward in this life
is seeing real fruit grow for someone else to eat. It is about caring more for others than for yourself;
most of the world will think you stupid if they know. But remember whatever you do for others, do it
in secret so that our Lord Will Reward you openly and for the Aions.

Matthew 6:2:
"Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. "

Matthew 6:4:
"That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. "

Luke 6:35:
"But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. "
