Where are you headed???




Life can be so many things, meaningful especially when things are going well, depressing when you are going through fiery challenges and just okay when there isn't much pressure in your everyday life. Its a roller coaster, different speed at different parts of the ride, but even a roller coaster is ridden for fun, but why are we doing life? why are we living? where are we going with his life? why do we have to go through such traumatizing experiences? for what?

You see when you do not know why you have to do something, its totally meaningless and everything leads to weariness. The reason why we suffer in life is because we lack direction, so it appears that difficulties is only torture in our lives as we never get to see the benefits of the difficulties in our lives.Some of these challenges and pains are brought about by abuse, we tend to abuse our lives because we do not know why we are living.

"When purpose is unknown, abuse in inevitable"

When you know why you are living, you will have a direction at least to where you are going and you will be able to trace your challenges t your goal, where you are going.It is when you know where you are headed that you will realize that all your challenges are equipping you for what is ahead of you. You will realize that the challenges no matter how cruel they may seem, they are all working together for your good Romans 8: 28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Nothing JUST happens, but all things happen for a reason, but you will never know why they have to happen because you do not relate them with anything, but when you relate them with where you are going, you will know that the certainly is a reason for everything happening the way they are happening and at that time as well.

And you will even get to appreciate challenges when you know where you are headed because you know you definately need the training if you want to do the best job when the time comes. So, WHAT DRIVES YOU? where are you going? why do you exist? what is you purpose in this life? Stop living aimlessly and working hard for perishables, it is not a wise investment. Rather invest in things that are priceless and will last forever. Matthew 6: 20 "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."Stop being myopic and look beyond what you see. Colossians 3:1-2"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Stop living and live for God, stop being just a Christian and be a kingdom minded Christian, desire to see the kingdom of God advance!!!
