Title: No Life Outside of God:
There are moments when we wake up feeling heavy, burdened by a sadness we can't explain. That was me today. A deep sense of emptiness and sorrow hovered over me, and I couldn’t trace it to any particular cause—until I realized what was missing: communion with the Father.
You see, I’ve come to understand something essential about my life—something I want every young person to grasp early. My life is not my own. It is deeply rooted in the will of God. There is no joy, no peace, no identity for me outside of Him. I’ve tried walking other paths, seeking fulfillment in my own way, chasing dreams that were not birthed in the secret place with Him. And every single time, without fail, He brought me back. Sometimes gently. Sometimes through storms. But always lovingly.
It’s like the Psalmist said:
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?”
— Psalm 139:7 (NKJV)
The truth is, I’ve been chosen by God—not because of who I am or what I’ve done, but because of who He is. This divine choice is not random. There’s a purpose behind it. Even if I don’t fully understand it yet, I am determined to walk it out. I choose Him every day, because He first chose me.
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit...”
— John 15:16 (NKJV)
To those of you coming up in this generation: know this. There is no true life outside of God. The world will offer you alternatives—promises of freedom, fame, fulfillment—but they are fleeting and fragile. Real life begins when you surrender to the One who created you. You were made for His glory, and until you align your steps with His will, your soul will always hunger for more.
“For in Him we live and move and have our being.”
— Acts 17:28 (NKJV)
Let your relationship with God be your foundation. Make communion with the Father your priority. And remember, if you ever stray, His love is relentless. He will pursue you, correct you, restore you—because He has called you according to His purpose.
I don’t have all the answers yet, but I know this: I was not made to live outside of God's plan. And neither were you. We are His. Let’s live like it.
