Let us live for His glory!

It's funny; whenever we start out on our own we either get lost, create havoc, or just really messes stuff up. And yet we still think we know the better way. Don't we know Christ died to make our lives a sweet fragrance to Him. To take us from where we were to where He is?
Look at how perfectly He created this world to begin with. Garden, no cares, perfection with everything, nothing out of place, everything just right. Then along came the serpent, the tempter, and the temptation, to be like God. Don't we have the same temptation today. We run our lives the way we think they should be run, and look at the outcome, and yet we still don't hand it all over to Him, even though He is able. instead we plow ahead, making our own way again and again, never seeing that it just does not work out.
"Lord help us to trust You to take over, and help us to have joy in it, and not still grab it all, and try to take it all back. We are Your workmanship, created in Christ to do good works which You prepared before hand that we should walk in them, (Eph 2:10) Lord and only them may we walk in, not all these things we're asked, or tempted to walk in, but the sweetness of God, all those things, all the things that You prepared for us to walk in, let us only walk in them, and thus be fulfilled, made right, and full of Your peace, Your Love, Your joy! In Jesus Name, Amen!" What we're we created to be? His workmanship. We are made by His hands, the hands of the master, not to do our own will, but now the will of the Father. His purposes, His desires, His visions and dreams. Our lives all about Him and not us! "Lord help us to be about Your business. Your will. Wearing Your wedding garments, (Matt 22:11-14) Your attire, let us shine Your glory, (2Cor 4:6 Is 60:1) witnesses of Your work and Word. Have You not made us to will and do of Your good pleasure? (Phil 2:13) "Let us be content with that, in Your Name, the Name above all names!"
