Thoughts : Life’s main purpose

20 July 2007No Comment

“Life without purposes is worse than life without a purse”.

Too often we put so much focus on money issues. On materialism. Treating it as if it’s the MOST important thing in life. As if it’s the reason why we wake up in the morning. The only reason why we … live.

Someone once said, babies’ fists are clenched at birth (and for a few weeks afterwards). But when one leaves this world, both their palms are always opened. And it’s because we can no longer hold onto anything from this world. Because it’s time to let go.

Really. With empty hands we enter this world, and we’ll one day leave bringing nothing tangible along with us.

There’s a time for everything. There’s a time for us to be born. And there will be a time for us leave.

And the question we should then ask ourselves… what is our life’s main purpose? How have we lived our lives so far?

Let’s take time to look within ourselves.

And let’s look beyond our limited lifetime and start looking into things that are eternal.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.
Whoever puts his trust in God’s Son will not be lost
but will have life that lasts forever.
John 3:16
