A good word to describe how I have been feeling lately: Content. You know, I don’t want to be just “content” anymore. So, I was thinking today (And in all honestly I have been thinking about this for a while, but especially for the last past week.) “What is my purpose?” Sigh. No one can answer this- at least not anyone walking on this earth. A good word to describe how I am feeling this very moment: Pretty pumped (and that’s two words, excuse me). I just had one of the most uplifting Bible studies I have ever had- besides maybe the “hit-you-in-the-side-of-the-head-with-the-Bible” ones you get from going to church camp. But I have decided that the best use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it.
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. - Mark 13:32
Why do we spend so much time anticipating Jesus’ return when we should be focusing on fulfilling our missions before that day arrives? My purposes as a Christian: to love Him, to be a part of His family, to become like Him, to serve Him, and to tell others about Him. My purpose as an individual? Well, that I do not know. But I cannot wait to find out! As of now, I am praying that God’s sends me anyone and everyone my way just so I can introduce them to the man who has given me everything I could ever want or need- the Lord Jesus Christ! I pray he sends me football stadiums filled with people who have not yet met their Savior… I am truly on fire. Who wants to listen to me talk?!
If you don’t speak out to warn the wicked to stop their evil ways, they will die in their sin. But I will hold you responsible for their death. -Ezekiel 3:18
I have to get my priorities in order. Yes, I do love to learn. Yes, I love college. Yes, I love being young and living life to the fullest. But life does not end in this world. Life’s meaning is not fulfilled until your mission is fulfilled. There is so much more to life than this, and that is one of the most exciting things I have ever came to the conclusion of. And I want others to know it,too, so that when I stand before God one day, I can say “I lived it all for you. Mission accomplished.“
God will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.- Matthew 6:33
