Life's daily patterns of living, working, sleeping and existing shield us from an amazing fact: Life is precious! Life is fragile and life, as we know it, will end. The Bible says it is appointed for all people to die at some point (Hebrews 9:27). How many more breaths will I breathe in and blow out?
I have been thinking of life in general and reflecting back my childhood days, the struggle growing up as a teenager, my dreams and looking at the goodness of the Lord in all aspect….both in success and failures in life's journey. Sometimes we take for granted all the small experiences that we encounter in this journey.
Recently I have been visiting a friend who was diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer. It all happens so sudden. No major symptoms and no prolong illness. In his peak of life, sudden news of being diagnosed with this disease is heart breaking news. Many times we really don't understand what this journey of life lead us to.....we can only put our hope in the Lord
Wise King Solomon says that God "has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end" (Ecclesiastes 3:11). That is to say, no one can figure it out with his imagination alone. God must reveal these amazing truths to us. And yes, the truth is more remarkable than fiction.
The Bible continues to bedazzle us: "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is" (1 John 3:1-2).
As I reflect upon this life that God has given me, I realize that my purpose of living is to love God, to love our neighbors and to go and make disciples of others who will do the same
Be Blessed.
