What is the purpose of everything that happens to us in this life?
For the Lord's name to be glorified. Simple as that. (Yes, that really is, or should be, the goal of this life.)
Every single thing that we go through, if we are living our lives out in recurring attempts to please the Lord, leads us towards the ultimate place we'll be: HOME, in the heavens with our Beloved. (I won't apologize for sounding lovey-dovey... I'm in loooove with Jesus.)
This is the reason I decided to change the name (and URL) of my former Tangible Thoughts blog. Everything that happens in my life must lead to my home, being with my Savior in eternal bliss and satisfied longing. Therefore, with everything that I write, I will attempt to gear it towards the eternal perspective, hone it to an eternal mindset. To tell you the truth, I don't know how else I will be able to survive this life & I cannot fathom how some people even try to live without the hope of what awaits those who love the Lord.
So I pray to the Lord, "Lead me gently home."
Hi there! I'm Monica. It's refreshing to find your blog. I agree completely with this post. If things don't point to Christ Jesus(eternity)we are going astray.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for reminding me and in ways of stirring me up as Peter says. We are to always be living to glorify Jesus Christ.
And to please Him.
