I don't know why I'm not sleeping yet, but there are just so many thoughts running through my mind that I can barely sleep, and well.. I kinda pulled my lower back muscle, so having that bit of pain while I lie flat. Anyway, that's of no importance at all, I just probably have a bit more time to think about things and life in general. The purpose of life to be exact.
Do we actually know what our purpose on earth is? What we are supposed to do with our life? As Christians, we call this purpose our calling. I thank God that He has in some way given me a clearer picture of what He wants me to do, even though these things are still quite premature but I'm glad He has given me a focus in life and a drive and motivation that will carry me through the next five years. But what happens to those who never find their calling? Or rather, they never find something that they truly love to do. What then happens to them?
Is life just about working hard and earning your keep, buying a house, starting a family and working even harder? What I know is that Life definitely isn't and shouldn't be a constant pursuit of material wants. Even though I know many girls who work really hard to earn enough money for the next designer handbag or would do anything for money just to enjoy this sense of material satisfaction and luxury.
All that I have in mind is that Life should be a walk with Christ. It is one where your purpose is known and you set your heart and mind to achieve it, not for your personal glory but for the glory of God. Life is about believing that God knows best and giving Him full control. As easy as this may sound, it is something that many Christians, myself included, struggle to constantly do. But I know even through these humanly struggles of life, God is never absent and always present. I commit my life to living a life that is pleasing to Him, one that will glorify Him.
