Living my purpose
I live here on earth not for myself. And that truth I realized lately today.
It's true that we must live not for ourselves, but for others. For example, why do we study hard? It's because we want to give our family a good life. Why do we want to wake up everyday? SO that we would let the world experience that a person like us lives in earth and that we want to let them know that we could have an impact in their lives.
You know what? It would be very lonesome to live for one's self only. Isn't it? Like one practices everyday so as to perfect writing his english to be able to please himself.
on the long run, we live for excellence so that we could serve better. right? For what is the use of being able to earn millions of dollars if we could not share our happines with somebody else? It would be stressing in our part to celebrate our joy alone. Our feelings could overflow and possibly would lead us to mental sickness. right?
SO, live like the lives of others depend on you, and this Christmas, it just reminds us that the ideal purpose of living is for others.
The true essence of Christmas lies on being obedient and faithful to God, telling stories about God's glory to anyone who listens, and to
proclaim God's glory in our lives. This is how we should live our life.
That's how living for God is like.
It's living for others.
