OK, then I know I have to do something in my life... It is following me and I cannot dismiss it.
And I have to study as much as I can so that I can do it in the best way possible...
the problem is that it is very hard to do it as interest in doing it is lacking in myself, or something seem to be working against it...
I have had some passions in my old life, but I decided to quit all of them when I found Jesus Christ (or He found me).
"Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ..." - Philippians 3:8
I may sound like a strange person, as I do not have ambitions and goals like most people seem to have in this life...
and many things that people dedicate their lives and focus on achieving are not that important to me...
it is the kind of thing that never will make me feel happy just for achieving this or that...
I actually have only one personal goal in this life, and the only thing I can do is hope that God has it prepared for me.
Other than that, money, possessions, worldly knowledge, and the like, these things do not fill my eyes...
"Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven." - Proverbs 23:5
the only thing I really want to make sure is that I do and complete what God wants me to do in this life and have His approval.
And do the things He wants and pleases Him with whatever He gives to me.
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men..." - Colossians 3:23
Then please, pray that I can do the things God wants me to do and that I can overcome the things that want to try to prevent me of doing it.
God bless you all in Jesus' name!
