A purpose In Life?

Posted by aLv|N (Melbourne, Australia) on 13 March 2008 in Animal & Insect.

When you dig deep enough in every heart, you will find it: a longing for meaning, a quest for purpose. As surely as a child breathes, he will someday wonder, "What is the purpose of my life?"

Some search for meaning in a career. "My purpose is to be a dentist." Fine vocation but hardly a justification for existence. They opt to be a human "doing" rather then a human "being". Who they are is what they do; consequently they do a lot. They work many hours because if they don't work, they don't have an identity.

For others, who they are is what they have. They find meaning in a new car or a new house or new clothes. These people are great for the economy and rough on the budget because they are always seeking meaning in something they own... some try sports, entertainment, cults, sex, you name it.

All mirages in the desert of purpose...

Shouldn't we face the truth? If we don't acknowledge God, we are flotsam in the universe.

My challenge to you now is this, think about this for a moment. when you die, would you like to have people standing over your grave just for the sake of it? or would u like people to cry over it? or would you like people to come and give testimonies about the life that you have lived.

Right now, think about it. would you like to have a title in life? or a testimony? Live your life how you would like to be remembered. Take a risk for God, step up, follow what He ask.
