LIFE IS


LIFE IS

Life isn't who you are
LIFE IS who you love
Life isn't where you go
LIFE IS what you sow
Life isn't how you live
LIFE IS when you give
Life isn't what you buy
LIFE IS how you die

As surely as a child breathes, he will someday wonder, "What is the purpose of my life?" Some search for meaning in a career.  My purpose is to be a dentist. Fine vocation but hardly a justification for existence. They opt to be a human doing rather than a human being. They work many hours, because if they don't, they have no identify. For others, who they are is what they have. They find meaning in a new car, a new house, new clothes.  They are great for the economy because they're always seeking meaning in something they own. Sports, entertainment, cults, sex, you name it. Paul says in Romans 1:22, "Claiming themselves to be wise without God, they became utter fools instead." Contrast that to God's vision of life when he said, "We are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to devote ourselves to the good deeds for which God has designed us!" (Ephesians 2:10).
