Having Purpose
One of the things Ann and I enjoyed doing while traveling the world be to go site-seeing. One of our favorite places to go was London, England. There, we would head out to the "Eye". The Eye is a huge Ferris Wheel that sits on the bank of the River Thames. As the wheel would turn, you would reach the top and you could look out over all of London and the surrounding countryside. A panoramic view of God's creation and handiwork.
There is a verse in Ephesians chapter 2, that tells us, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do". God has charged us with a purpose. The challenge for me is to make my life meaningful. To make it worthwhile. To make a difference.
I was privy to a midnight conversation between 2 Drill Sergeants when I was a young recruit. They were having a discussion about me. The 1 Sergeant thought I wasn’t smart enough and I was not going to make it. It was the other sergeant that spoke up for me, saying, “Give him a chance, he’s going to be Ok”.
It turned out I was ok, and I was smart enough. The sergeant who spoke up for me made a difference in my life. I am where I am today because of his belief in my potential. Never sell someone short, the world is full of surprises. Remember, “We are God’s Handiwork and He wants us to do good works.
As I write this thought I am looking out the window watching my neighbor plow my sidewalk and my driveway. He just shows up and does it. He makes a difference in my life. He is a kind and thoughtful soul who makes a difference in the neighborhood.
You are God’s handiwork, God calls you to find a way to make a difference in someone’s life. Our purpose in life is to answer God’s call, “To love one another as He loves us. I am going out to thank my neighbor so I leave you with these thoughts. God Loves You!
