What you must do
2 Timothy 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it.

Everyone worries about how they should live their lives. Times come when you must make a new leap forward. What should we do then? We believe that God will answer His children, but reality feels difficult and cumbersome. There are a few things you absolutely must confirm as you live in the world. What are the blessings that a child of God should remember?
1. Prepare
A child of God must continue in what he has learned and has become convinced of. No matter what event he may come across, he must be able to receive grace from God. You simply need to know the reason why God made you stay where you are and the reason why He makes you go somewhere else. You simply need to pray according to your present occupation or position, age, and time schedule. When you are prepared, your eyes to see the age and world will be opened, and God will allow you to see the prepared disciples (Romans 16:25~27).
2. Leave behind a masterpiece
There is a great key to enjoying the blessings that God has given to His children in your life. It is creating your own masterpiece every day when you confirm your identity and meditate. It is also good to pray when you wake up in the morning, read books, or learn other languages. You can also write a journal, write essays, draw, compose music, or exercise to stay physically fit. If this kind of living stacks up, then you will be certain of your identity and be able to find hidden talents and interests.
3. Have a mission
As a child of God, you must be able to see the age. If you know the age, you can truly cry with your heart. You must cry not because of sadness or depression but out of love for the church and the heart to help pastors and missionaries (2 Timothy 1:4~5). A child of God must open his eyes to see the age of suffering and have the mystery to transcend all circumstances and himself. When praying to God feels not as a burden but as true happiness, you will transcend everything.
