In discussing perspective with a friend, I found that it is how we live our lives that is a reflection of what our ultimate goal is. Our hope comes form that goal--it is what we strive after each and every day even when the journey, or the means doesn't make sense to us.
For some it is success, money, love, adventure, and for the Christian it is Christ. We live our lives because God placed us here for a reason, we were not meant to understand the end--our human minds can not comprehend its glory and splendor but we work and breathe and act in order to better understand and to draw closer to God. Life is not just about the end.
If God didn't have purpose for this earth and for our daily battles, struggles, and meaningless acts, He would not have created the world, the human being or given us passions, talents, emotions, and personalities.
We were meant to live life--to live with purpose--and to push on each day that God blesses us with. Our ultimate goal is to spend eternity with God but eternity has already started--we are already with God. This journey we are on is to draw closer to God--to find Him in life's pleasures and to seek Him in life's pains, to praise Him in life's joys and to rely on Him in times of doubt.
Our life is a means to an end of eternity in Heaven but each day is a piece of that eternity as we are here on earth living out our lives for Christ.
What is your goal? What is your Perspective?
