Examine Your Motives

 

 

We all hit times in our life when we question things that happen.  We question if we are making the right choice, if we are on the right path, if we are doing good enough.  We’ve all been there, and we will probably all be there again.

Questioning can be good, it causes us to evaluate what the heck is going on in our lives.  Yet at the same time it’s hard because we don’t feel like we should be questioning, like we should have it all together.

But that’s just it.  We ourselves can never have it all together.  We are capable of some pretty spectacular things.  We can set our minds, and set our wills and complete just about anything we set our minds too.

But even if we make it, even if we hit our goal, we may still question ourselves. Why?  Because on our own there will always be something missing.  There will always be this hole in the center of our lives.

Not to sound cliche.  But without God we will always come up missing something.  It’s not that we can’t do great things without him, but it won’t mean as much.

So take some time, figure out your motives. It’s okay to question.  It drives us to the answers.
