Focus on the Development of Life
A message from Galatians 5:22-23
Did you know there is a different between God's focus on life and our focus on life?
The eyes of the entire world is at developing their own self. When we think about developing our lives what do we really want to develop in our lives? Answer is very simple. We all are thinking of developing our lives. That's all about materials or physical things. Whole world is thinking about the same. People take lots of initiative to develop their village, town, school, colleges, earnings etc. These are all materials related things. Every nation and every tribe is thinking on development in the light of materials related things. That's what the world understand the life is. If these things are developed we think our life and the world is being developed. Many things have been developed in the world. As a result our lives becomes so easy to survive on this earth. But my question is, Is that enough for our life? Is the Living God who sees everything satisfied with that development? This is what we know the life is all about, so we think to develop only what we know.
The different between God's focus on developing our life and our focus on developing life is :
Our focus is on materials or physical related things but God's is on spiritual and character related things. See the different. Our focus is on temporary things but God's focus is on eternal things. All the materials and physical things will disappear but our character and spiritual things will remain forever. The Primary focus of God on our lives is to develop our character and spiritual. Materials and physicals are a secondary things. But to us God's secondary things becomes our primary focus on life. That's the problem with us. So what we should do now, is let God's primary focus on our life be our primary focus and His secondary focus on life be secondary focus to us.
If God's primary focus on developing our life is on character and spiritual then we all need to focus on developing our character and spiritual life. The things which we can see are not the real but the things which we did not see are the real. All the physical components are not going to be here forever but our spiritual life and our character that we developed are going to be there forever. Unreal life will disappear soon but real life will remain for eternity with Jesus.
In order to develop our character what one must obtain in his life? That's the fruit. The fruit of the Spirit. Which we found in Galatians 5:22-23. This passage talks about the fruit of the Spirit. What are these fruit all about? These are the characteristics of Jesus Christ. When we bear these fruit we bear Jesus. And Jesus is seen in us. So now you tell me, how many of us thinking about developing their character and spiritual life? Every new year people make lots of plan and strategy to achieve something very special in their lives. In fact you too have the plan to do something. But can you tell me when is the last time you mention in your plan diary about developing your character or spiritual life. Have you ever mention in your planning diary saying that last year I could only love five people this year I will love twenty five people? Or last year I forgive only ten persons this year I will forgive fifty people? Have you plan like that any time? Never. No one has done this. We all are thinking about developing materials things not the spiritual things. But remember God's primary focus is on our character development. So we also should think on developing our character rather than developing materials related things. This is where the fruits of the spirit is required.
As you read this articles may God touch your heart and help you to focusing on developing your character rather than materials related things.
