The Best Way I Can

I am an extremely imperfect person that is loved by a God that created me to be a far better man. For your sake I hope you interact with me when I'm listening to Him and His love flows through me to you. All my motivations, although they might seem good, would ultimately boil down to nothing in the end if it were not for the life that Christ provides.
I'm nearing the tail end of my long-winded college experience. Most of it has actually served to teach me more about what I don't want to do with my life than what I do, which is find a way to use the talents I've been given and the knowledge I've acquired to serve the Lord and show His love to others in the best way I can.


Everyone has a hole in their heart that only God can fill... it's how He created us. I've slowly come to realize that the majority of people in our society, even most Christians, including me growing up and to a certain extent now, try to fill that hole in their heart with love from others. While I believe loving relationships with significant others, friends and family is all very vital to the well-being of a person's life, I'd say that when you try to use it to fill the hole designed only for God then you end up putting too much pressure on the people you love and are receiving love from, which can end up hurting relationships. I have great admiration and respect for people I've met in life that really just GET IT. Our love for each other, while capable of being amazing at times, is not what keeps us together, as our world today seems to say even in the most attractive and seemingly harmless ways, but rather God's love through us. I'm still learning about life and love every day... and who knows? My opinions may change even further in the future.
