Purpose

A friend said that his life is to fulfill God's purpose, and if he finds someone along the way to walk with him, that is a bonus. I can vaguely see where he is coming from now, because if u have a purpose that u find fulfilment in, then perhaps this sense of fulfilment is so satisfying that u do not require having a mate to walk with you.

Another fren got cancer recently, am going to visit him tmr. He is thankful at this time to be able to share Christ with his colleagues. I can't imagine that he thinks of sharing God's love with others at his moment of need. And yes I am thankful and really encouraged.

We have only one life to live.

Read the story of the dog lying on a pin. It laid there for a very long long time, and yet it didn't bulge, even though it was painful. So many of us are like that. I wonder how long we can endure the threshold of pain. Or is it that ultimately, we don't see that there is a greater purpose to life, and simply live day by day to get by our lives?
