It's so easy to forget what we're here for. I do it all the time. I get caught up in what's going on in my life and totally forget the most important things.
We were made for God by God. We were made to be servants. To spread His word, to adore Him (in the fraction we are capable) in the way He adores us.
The definition of servant: a devoted and helpful follower or supporter: a tireless servant of God.
"A tireless servant of God" was actually used in the definition as an example.
To be a servant is to be devoted, to be helpful, and to be tireless.
How often am I actually devoted and tireless as a servant of God? Most of the time, I don't even know what that looks like.
The truth is, we were made to serve Him. That is our purpose of being put on this earth. He knew that when He thought of us. When we let things that are in our lives get in the way of this true purpose--of this calling--we better be prepared to lose them. God will not let anything stand in the way of His purposes. No matter how painful it may be, He knows what is better for us, and if that means taking something that we're clinging to, He will do it.
"And now the Lord says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant..."
Isaiah 49:5a
"You are my servant in whom I will be glorified."
Isaiah 49:3
"...I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."
Isaiah 49:6b
He wants us to be His light to the world: through our actions on this earth, through worship, and through spreading His word.
Come, magnify the Son: Savior of the world, the hope for everyone.
