"We waste our lives when we do not pray and think and dream and plan and work toward magnifying God in all spheres of life. God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes Him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that He really is. In the night sky of this world God appears to most people, if at all, like a pinprick of light in a heaven of darkness. But He created us and called us to make Him look like what He really is. This is what it means to be created in the image of God. We are meant to image forth in the world what He is really like."
-don't waste your life, John Piper
i gazed up into the clear night sky last night. there were so many stars.. it was really beautiful. what i read in the morning came back to me. the heavens shall declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. what about me? have i been declaring Your glory the way You want me to?
