purpose

oh so many songs leap in my heart right now, and all i want to say is....

there is a universal law and we should be grateful for it. the law? LOVE! Love never fails. (1 Cor. 13) I know there's people out there that feel unloved, ashamed, broken. Shoot--- I'm broken, ashamed, and sometimes i feel unappreciated. To all those people, seek deeper. Seek for a greater love. Don't you see? God chases your heart.... He wants to just fill you with extravagant love... He wants you to become pure and holy, like He created you to be. I know i'm very lacking, and I understand I might not be the best example of it, but I strive to get there. And i think if we all truly strived.... can you imagine what this world would be like?

Yeah... you pessimist! I hear your voice. It will never be like that, the world is corrupt, it's broken, it's filled with filth and shame, and all sorts of bad things. I agree it is. But isn't the world also filled with beauty, healing, and peace? Doesn't someone's warm embrace mean more than someone's rudeness? Love always wins.

I wish I could be an eye opener.... I know people think I'm blinded, and I must admit in a way I am. I'm extremely biased. God makes you change.... He changes the way you see things, He changes your actions, attitudes and thoughts... So why should you listen to me if I'm biased? Because if you were biased like me, inner peace would flow out of you, love would radiate from your pores, your inner rhythm would be in tune to the heartbeat of God. What would matter if the world crumbles around you if inside you're radiating, you have a higher hope....

Do you understand this? If you had a higher hope, earthly things banish, they become miniscule. Not to say they won't hurt, but the new found perspective will surely ease and heal the pain MUCH quicker. so---- where's your hope? WHERE is YOUR hope? is it in relationships? school? work? those things... they're so ephemeral! do you see this? think about it.

family-- you'll move out soon enough, you'll be out of your parent's house in a heartbeat...

friends-- they move, they fade, they are swallowed by distance, busyness, and new

relationships.... relationships? supposing you get lucky and you find your perfect match RIGHT NOW-- chances are, that person IS human, and thus, can't bring you complete happiness, bc hapiness is found within and that person CANNOT change your own attitude and thoughts.... also, supposing both of you get married and the other person dies first, what about life after the person dies? you have to live on!...

school-- oh believe me, school time passes by VERY quickly, i'm almost done...

work-- dive yourself into work and see you NOT leave 1 single legacy behind. if your dream is to be a famous writer, artist, scientist, or what not... chances are 1 in 100000000000000000 that you will NOT appear in a history book.... not to say you're not important, but think of 10 Nobel prize winners, and then tell me 10 of your friends. who's more iportant to YOU personally?

anyhow... my point is-- think about your purpose, you are important, and you were created with a purpose. find out what God's purpose in your life is. :)
