The Point

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ever feel like we miss the point? Like all we want to be is to be happy or entertained. It reminds me of the quote of this generation saying, "Here we are, entertain us!" I hate that quote with every fiber in my bones. I want to break that "mold" and change it to: "Here we are, THIS is the gospel!" I want the Christians to rise up of their sofas, turn off their TVs, and make a difference. Why can't we wake up and realize that we have the chance of a lifetime. Why! Oh, if we would humble ourselves and seek the very face of Yahweh (A name for God). I believe the point is Yahweh has blessed America so that we may bless others. Instead we "bless" ourselves. . . I despise it. Oh . . . that's why I stopped watching TV and movies. (Just a thought) I know Yahweh loves us and wants us to live our whole lives for Him. Will you join me with the power of the off button and show the world "THIS is what the gospel looks like." Maybe we will find the point. . . and when we do we will never feel out of place ever again. Because the point is our very purpose. Let's come alive.
