Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he hold all creation together. –Colossians 1:16-17 (NLT)
CREATED THROUGH AND FOR HIM
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you believe that God created everything?
He made the entire universe, creatures and human beings
He existed before anything else and designed us in his likeness
He holds together all creation in his loving righteousness.
He gave us his commandments so we can sow and reap
He wants our minds and hearts to constantly leap
We were created through him and for him
We must remember to listen, obey and be redeemed.
Do you wonder how and why you came into being? So many people live their lives without knowing their purpose in life. They live for themselves and cater to all that is pleasurable to them. They do not care about anyone else but themselves. Then, they wonder why they feel empty and isolated.
The bible says that everything was created through God and for him. He came before anything else existed and he holds all creation together. This means that our purpose is for him and not for ourselves. This means that without God, we will live difficult lives and lack peace and joy. This means that if we live our lives devoid of him, we will not fulfill all that we were created for.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for all your creation.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to know God’s purpose for our lives?
