What is the meaning of life? What is my purpose? These are questions that many people contemplate everyday, I know I do. The answer is simple and was spoken by the Lord Jesus in *Luke 10:30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength…* I have been a follower of the Lord Jesus for 25 years and for me, this is definitely easier said than done. So many things get in the way and the biggest one for me is “Life”. I know that I do not spend enough of my life loving God and spending time with Him. I get so busy taking care of things and not taking the time to spend with the One that is taking care of me. At times I don’t take into consideration the truth about Life as written about in *James 4:14…For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.* The simplest way to stay close to God is through prayer and yet most days I am too busy to even do that except for a few minutes here and there. There is a story, “One day, a young boy asked an old man: “Sir, which is the best day to pray?” The wise old man replied: “My son, the best day to pray is the day before you die”. The boy was astonished and replied: “Sir, how can I know the day of my death? ”And the old man answered: “No one knows the day of his death, that’s why we need to pray everyday.” There were people that were alive yesterday, that were looking forward to today and did not make it through the night. There will be people that will die today that have great plans for tomorrow and will not see those plans come to pass. I read, “Those who pursue God and His righteousness, who take seriously the command to love Him above all else, are those who are consumed with the things of God. They are eager to study God’s Word, eager to pray, eager to obey and honor God in all things, and eager to share Jesus Christ with others. It is through these spiritual disciplines that the love for God grows and matures to the glory of God.” Beloved brethren, please pray for me as I pray for all who read these words to be eager to be intimate with God and wait expectantly to see how He will help us to be conformed to the image of His Son, Amen. My Beloved, may the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen. In Christ Love, douglas. HE>i. pastord.blog
