Jesus made me think

So I was sitting with two of my friends in my living room.
It was cold outside and we just finished a conversation and the coffee we had with it.
Both of them got out their phones and..played or what ever you do with a smart phone - I just sat in my armchair.
So I sat there thinking..not really about anything important..but after a while I thought oh my..now we're sitting here, me and two of my christian friends..and we don't ever talk about anything to do with God..so I prayed real quick in my head and there was a question.
''what do you think, why are we on earth what is our purpose?''
''relationship'' one of them said really fast.
''Ya..but, why do you have the gifts and talents you have and do you use them for yourself or..God??''
No answer..still the phones. The one that hasn't said anything yet put his phone away and looks up..''I don't know, Lena. I've never thought about that! What's yours?''
WOW! there it was.
''Hmm..I haven't really thought about it either..it just came to my mind.''

Well, I still haven't figured it all out yet and I don't think it's possible in only one day..but I'm thinking about it.
Are you doing what God made you for? Are you fulfilling your purpose..not just for yourself?

It's a hard question..and to be honest I could tell you a thousand cases where I know I used things I'm good at for my selfish desires. But I have the choice and I'm gonna change that and build God's kingdom on earth!
Cause there are times where I am, who God created me to be!! And the feeling of loving somebody or caring for somebody and knowing that this is what God wants me to do is better then anything I felt so far! :)

I want to be Jesus to people around me and in order to do that I need to use the things I CAN use!
