Have You Found Your Reason for Living?
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit ~John 12:24~
One day a depressed woman jumped off a bridge into a river. Without thinking, a man standing nearby jumped in to save her. But “our hero” suddenly remembered that he couldn’t swim, so he started thrashing around and screaming for help! Hearing his cries, the depressed woman swam to his rescue, hauled him out, administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and saved his life. What happened? She found a need greater than her own, and in so doing she found a reason to live.
Jesus said, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies [to self-interest], it produces much grain.” Christ had just gotten through saying, “Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing” (Luke 12:22-23).
Career success and material things cannot be your reason for living! You need a larger purpose, and God will give you one if you ask Him.
Some of us are born knowing what God has called us to do in life; others discover it along the way. Some of us actually find it in our closing years.
Indeed, some of us are awakened to it by tragedy and loss.
What matters is that we find God’s purpose and pour ourselves into it.
Helen Keller wrote, “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which God has opened for us.”
So, have you found your reason for living?
Lord today I just want to say thank You to YOU. . .Thank You for all You do and all You will continue to do. It is for You Lord that we live. It is You Lord we serve. You are the Lord of Lords the King of Kings, You are our Saviour, our Redeemer, the Truth and the Light of the World. You are our Deliver, the Way and the Everlasting Father. You are a Just and Righteous Judge, full of compassion and Mercy, full of grace and lovingkindness. You are the Prince of Peace, the Alpha and the Omega the first and the Last the Beginning and the End. You are the Lord of all, great and greatly to be praised. Creator of the heavens, earth, seas and all that is in them, Our strength and our shield, Majestic, our Rock, our Fortress. You are all Powerful all Wise, all Loving, Mighty, Never Failing, Never sleeping, Never leaving us alone, You are our hiding place, our refuge, our sustainer, a very present help in trouble and the one who forgives all of our sins.
Father we Praise You for all You do and all You will continue to do for us today and every day for the rest of eternity.
In Your Holy precious name we pray Amen.
Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord
