Purpose

 As the hours count down and the moments pass, I'm realizing all the more how quickly our time on earth ends. Eternity must be in our minds constantly. Now is not forever. But one day, it will be. One day, every little mistake and flaw in our physical lives will be changed into beauty. Why worry about how we look? Why worry about how much stuff we have? Why strive to gain money when all of these things will not be taken with us into eternity? Turn your eyes off of this world. There are more important things to spend our energy on. Let us stretch out our hands to lift up the crippled. Let us bend down and hug the forgotten. Let us spread the relationship we have with Christ to others too. Can you imagine every breath being spent on others? Can you fathom every heart beat given to God? This is how it is supposed to be. This doesn't mean there will be no laughter or fun. We can still laugh, joke, and play. But we must always remember Christ. We are Christians, Christ followers. We have a purpose. There is a plan. I want to live for Him. I want to die for Him. My life, my love, I give to Thee, Thou Lamb of God who died for me. And may I ever faithful be, my Savior and my God.
