What We Are Made For
The short excerpt is by Steve Chesnee, and the scripture is John 10:10. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
How do you decide whether a watch is a good or a bad watch? You have to know what it is made for. For example, it is terrible at hammering nails, but that is okay because it is very good at telling me the time. Therefore, until I know what it is built and designed for, it is impossible to even talk about whether it is a good or a bad watch.
We are told very clearly in the Scriptures that God made you like Himself somewhat like a glove is made in the image of a hand. It is not a hand, but it reflects a little bit of what a hand is like. God put His print on you to reflect at least a little bit what He is like; and in all that He has made, the only thing that He made in His image is you and me. God not only made you like Himself, but He made you for Himself just like a glove is made for a hand. Now a glove could sit in a drawer for 10 years, but it would always be a glove-Sort of. You see, it is only when a hand comes inside a glove that a glove really becomes what it was made for. It is a hand that gives the glove its purpose and meaning. Like a glove is made for a hand, God made you for Himself. That is to say, He built you, and He made you with this God shaped vacuum on the inside so that He and only He could come inside and show you what you were made for and what you were meant to be. God made you so that He could come inside and satisfy you, fill you up, set you free, and show you all that life was meant to be.
