LIVING FOR GOD This attribute in python is not just a matter of coincidence. it is the direct result of planning by the Creator of the universe. The python is a silent call from nature.

LIVING FOR GOD In a God-oriented life, everything centres around God. One who lives such a life discovers God in all His greatness. He lives in such awe of God that everything else seems tiny in comparison. There are two ways of living in this world. one is a selforiented life, the other a God-oriented one. an individual then will either worship himself or he will worship God. his attention will be focused either upon his being or upon God. his aim in life will either be to please himself or please God.
