When your life on this earth is said and done what do you want to be remembered for? What do you want others to think about when they think on your life? It is important that we ask ourselves these simple questions from time to time so that we can see if we are living life purposefully. So many times we are on the go with our daily routines from sun up to sun down, but at the end of the day did we really accomplish anything? I believe we should make each new day count. When we do things purposefully we will be accountable to the time that we have been entrusted with. That is why I believe we should go back to basics that bring true meaning to life. The Lord Jesus declares in Matthew 22:37-39 “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” When we take time to seek God in prayer our day will go better because the Bible says that God will reward those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) (Matthew 6:27-34)
Our main job in life is to love God, live a life that is pleasing to Him and then do our best to love our neighbor, to be there for them in their time of need and to help elevate their life to greater heights as we would wish would be done to us in our time of need. We can’t merely say that we love God without acting in the same manner as our words proclaim. Our words must be backed up with action. We must pray purposefully, we must devote our time to the Lord purposefully, we must act kindly, thoughtfully and lovingly towards others purposefully knowing that their life will become better because of our simple interaction with them. That will be a life well lived because it will be lived in love and we know through the Scriptures as well as through living life that love never fails, that love covers many faults and that love welcomes all no matter their shortfalls or setbacks. Let us always be mindful to shower down blessings upon those around us that will never be forgotten or erased from their minds. (1 Peter 3:8-12) (Luke 6:30-36)
