purpose of enjoying God

I am sure you have seen those Christians who say that their main goal in life is to enjoy and live life to fullest with God at the center.  I aspire to be one of those Christians.  However, I have more often than not seen Chrsitians who say this but do not live it out.  I understand how difficult it is to live something like that out.  But, think about all those people who are not Christians.  Think about the way that they view you when you act out because of anger or talk about those people that make you upset.  Or even how you talk about the negative aspects of your life instead of the joy that is in it.  What are those non-believers thinking about you and your faith?  I have tried to be the person that people come and talk to and that person that when I pass on that people will not harbor feelings towards.  I know there are times in my life I have not been successful in this and I regret every time I fall short.  But, what about those times when you pick yourself back up?  What do those people see?  A lot of the time it is not in the initial mistake people are upset about it's the follow up that the person acts out.  Are they humble?  Are they arrogant?  What are they portraying about the name of our God?  This life will be wasted if you and I are not able to act out the excellence in God in the joy in our lives.  I need to stop proclaiming God's name if I am not going to enjoy what He has given me.  I need to start worshipping Him because of the blessings He has given me and show those around me that I am grateful for His gifts in my life.  This is what the non-believers will start seeing in you.  The non-believers will want that joy and excitement that you have in your life because they see who God is in you.  Now that would be an amazing legacy to leave, wouldn't it?
