What a wonderful thing it is when we have a sense of purpose, meaning, but also hope in our lives.
As creation in this world, it's hard not to feel the desire of longing, the want for love and attention, and a purpose in our lives.
For if we did not have a purpose on this earth, in this creation and nature, then life itself would be meaningless. If life is meaningless, then existence is on accident. If it's an accident, then we came to be from chance. If that is the case, then there is no designer or maker. We came from the "Big Bang" which was something out of nothing apparently.
But...
We do have purpose. We were each specifically designed. The earth was placed with pin point accuracy. The moon was positioned with a crisp position since life was created. It's so well placed that it fits perfectly, from our view on earth, around the sun to create a total lunar eclipse.
We are given a gift of life.
And life there after is available to use, not by works, not by good deeds, not by earning, but solely accepting that each one of us has sinned. We all fall short of being perfect. There is nothing we can do to "earn" our way into eternal life. Not by how many times we pray. Not by how many times we give to the poor or charities. It is solely calling upon the name of Jesus and his death on the cross in place of us for punishment.
Some might say, "we are god." Some might say, "everyone is right. Not one religion is right over the other." If that is the case, then everyone would be wrong if everyone was right. If everyone was wrong, then that goes back to the issue of accidental creation out of nothing.
Here's an example of this: If life was a courtroom, let's say, and one side was Christianity and the other side(s) was all other religions; one side has to be right in a courtroom setting. If both sides in a courtroom were wrong...they wouldn't be in the room (creation). If both sides in a courtroom were right...they wouldn't be or have need to be in the room (creation).
Out of all this, we need to have this in mind verses the worldly common saying: In life, search for not something to believe in, but search for the truth.
Jesus Christ is and was the only God who came to earth and took the place for our punishment of sin and falling short of glory compared to good works and living perfect lives to earn our eternal salvation.

A HOPE FOR WHY
An Explanation, Meaning, and Reason
WHY LIFE, CURRENTLY, IS THE WAY IT IS
With death, pain, destruction, and decay, it often is hard to live in this world as it is. Temptations, struggles, and despair are things that even we as believers face and feel in this life. This verse has put insight and answers as I find every time reading the Word:
AGAINST ITS WILL, ALL CREATION
WAS SUBJECTED TO GOD'S CURSE.
BUT
WITH EAGER HOPE, THE CREATION
LOOKS FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN
IT WILL JOIN GOD'S CHILDREN IN
GLORIOUS FREEDOM FROM
DEATH AND DECAY -Romans 8:20-21

Meaning Behind this Blog Title
KEEP THE EARTH BELOW MY FEET
Though it may not be a worship song directly, nor written by someone in the faith, Marcus Mumford certainly had a right idea of what it means to truly live. Not just living as any life ought to be, but this is how we as believers must view this short life on earth as how to live for Christ.
The song: "BELOW MY FEET"
They key chorus lyrics written by Marcus Mumford:
Keep the earth below my feet
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
For all my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
This is a beautiful translation of a couple verses such as 1 John 2:15
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
Or even Romans 12:2
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
So every time I listen and hear this beautiful song, I am reminded that we are ambassadors here on this earth, and often too many times we are distracted in life where we let ourselves get influenced by what the world has to offer. I am more than guilty of this time and time again especially with worldly loves and lust. So what a great unknowingly at first, applicable song it is that Marcus Mumford wrote.

Little. Christian. Artist.
This side, but more important, blog I am creating
will be the journey alongside my faith and life with Christ as I venture into building endurance against the enemy in pinpoint weaknesses of my life and that of others in Christ, specifically the issue of Lust.
At the same time I plan to share about my life as a Little Person with
Achondroplasia (The most common type of dwarfism)
On top of these things, at the same time, I shall share about
joys, struggles, and faith while being an artist, as well as a Little Person
with dwarfism and life in college with it, as well as Faith in Christ overall.
Let us grow together closer in Christ
and to those around us in fellowship and endurance to
resist the enemy and worldly thoughts, actions, and lusts.
