So we all know that Jesus from the time he could understand most things knew what his purpose was in life. He spent everyday working to live up to it and to fufill it. He spent 30 years getting ready for his 3 years of ministry. In the end it was worth it. Imagine the weight he must have carried knowing when, and how he would die, and still doing what he knew was right, by walking the path God set before him. What strength, what courage it must have taken to see the end before it came.
I am glad not to have that much weight to carry, and I think you might be too. I do know that as a young person it is often hard for us to know what we want to do in life let alone what we are called to do. With the way the world is and the pull of life from so many directions. How do we chose the right path to take? How do we know the outcome will be good? How will it all end, and where will we be when the lights go out? Strange as it may sound I want you to think about all these things as you prepare to write this. What is your purpose, and what kind of legecy will you leave behind?
I feel in my spirit that some of you will try to be as breif and generic as possible. Some of you want to do just enough to get by, but I urge you to really put some thought and time into your response and give it your best.
In all we do let our light shine bright. During the day it is easy to miss our light because we are surounded by the love and light God give:
So how bright will we shine in the dead of night when the wind blows hard and our worlds not right? Will we giveup and fall short of grace or turn and run as we face our fate? Will we give our all or just get by to achive our best or fall down and cry? From the top the veiw is the same for all. So fear not my child and heed your call, to be the best in life that you can be. Follow God's great plan that he has for thee, and when the end comes as it surely will, know that you stood tall and filled the bill. God's grace and love I pray upon you. Let Him open your eyes to what you should do.
So the rest is up to you respond well as I will be grading them on how much time you spend and detailed you are.
