DAY 8:
I couldn't imagine living my life unsure of my purpose. To honestly choose to believe that I'm just some floating organism, lost in the universe, when there is another option?! The Bible, inerrant and powerful, offers everyone meaning in life. To live to love, to give, to grow, to know to show. To receive life eternally, to praise the Creator, to be in community, and to share all of these things with the people that are still lost.
I have purpose, I have life. I have a reason to live, and unbeknownst to Hoobastank, the reason is not a "you". It's to honor, serve, and mirror my Creator. When I spend my time letting Jesus change me, day by day, I don't have time or interest in greed, lying, gossip, slander. I then have my focus set on loving, being joyful, giving generously, serving. Too many people look at the Cross as fire insurance and Christianity as too many rules. But what about loving, giving, uplifting, encouraging, motivating, and living an inspired fulfilling life sounds like a rule book? If you focus on doing what you are called to do in Christ, you won't have time to do what God says not to do, and in the process you are guaranteed a fuller life.
I wake up, knowing that I have been created individually, given new life and perspective, and I wake up with motivation to live better because I have life in Christ.
If you are wondering about this Jesus thing, or you want a new view of Jesus, allow Him to "reintroduce Himself". Ask me, ask Him. Search the Word. Don't hate the author if you've never studied His work.
Laugh. Inspire. Believe. Love
