I DIDN'T CHOOSE THE ZOE LIFE, THE ZOE LIFE CHOSE ME: GOD CHOSE ME

I am currently in utter disbelief. I would just like to know how some people's minds actually work.

I have been dis-serviced. I have been humble, hardworking, and respectful. But what has that got me?

It would be immature to verbalize what my personal situation is. But the truth is, it doesn't matter. Infinite situations can be applied, and what we should take away, and how we should handle the given situation is always the same: With the love of Christ.

I'll tell you the truth, that that is the last thing I want to do. It's the last thing anyone of us wants to do when we have been served unjustly. But there is no other way to handle it if you want to truly say you were in the right at the end of the day.

We have all been dis-serviced by this world in some way. We feel we have given our honest effort, but the world says it isn't good enough, and despite our best efforts, and whether or not we deserve it, we are put down.

It happens all the time. Mostly with people. Life seems to be a never ending game of trying to please people in order to earn a spot in this world. So that YOU too can be respected. But what happens when you aren't enough?

There has to come a time when you have to realize that you will never be enough for anything. It's true. None of us are good enough for this world. But you know what's good enough for us?

God.

We need to sift through the crap. Does it really matter if you don't fit in? Does it really matter that someone will always be the better choice over you here? You have to answer no.

ZOE: Greek for life; more specifically:of the absolute fullness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God, and through him both to the hypo static "logos" and to Christ in whom the "logos" put on human nature

We are not called to live this life in the world. And it will never matter what you achieve here except what you achieve for the kingdom of heaven.

You can't be all about this world life. You have to be all about the Zoe life. God chose it for you.

So let go of what you think is necessary anger, and whatever reasoning you have to justify it, because it doesn't matter. It doesn't.

Remember that God is good enough for us and that that is all we need.

Much love, Ally
