The lawyer within you - life purpose

What are you living for?... Do you know your GOD given purpose in life?...
or are you just going throw the motions? is there a "lawyer" within you?...

Let me share a quick story with you.

I knew a successful lawyer, knowledgeable, dynamic, polite. He was preparing his way to be retired so he worked his own part-time 'relaxed' schedule. He had amazing people skills, therefore knew a lot of people and had great connections. He had traveled all over the world, had a nice family, an expensive car, a beautiful house, designer suits, and more. Seemingly, all that is worth living for...what the world would call "to be successful in life."

However, one morning his greeting had an unusual sad tone. I asked him if he was okay. I was amazed by his reply: "You know?...my mom's best friend just passed away. I just came back from the church service they did for her. She was like an aunt to me. She knew me since I was 4 years old...she was very dear to me. I just realized, in a different sense, that death is very real, and, about the brevity of life...and,...I FEEL EMPTY."

EMPTY >>>HE FELT EMPTY >>>HIS LIFE WAS EMPTY -------->WHY? = BECAUSE he had lived his life to himself instead living his life for GOD!

------------GOD created us for HIS purposes and to give HIM honor, praise, glory and thanksgiving. To learn to love HIM, love others, love ourselves.
If we fail in this, we have failed in life.------------------------

At that time I didn't know any good answer to give him, therefore I remained silent. With teary eyes he excused himself and left for the day.
His reply however became a profound lesson in my life. And I hope in yours too; may it warns you, teaches you, reminds you, redirects you, inspires you or assures you the GOD given purpose of your life.

*REMEMBER, ONLY WHAT IS DONE FOR JESUS CHRIST WILL FOREVER LAST!

"And behold, I AM coming quickly, and My reward is with ME, to give to everyone according to his work" -Rev.22:12



Heavenly FATHER, help me to live everyday for YOU. JESUS, thank you for giving Your life for me, I give my life for YOU. Amen.
