"Therefore
everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a
wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down , the streams
rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall,
because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25
Recently, this is what I’ve felt like…beat down by the rain, drowned by the streams, and battered by the winds of life. It’s so hard and I’ve been waiting for myself to completely lose it, but it’s not happening. Sure, I’ve had a breakdown and a whole lot of days where I feel like I don’t have the energy to go on, but I know where to turn and I have hope.
Today in Human Experience class, we talked about evolution, which turned into a conversation about the meaning of life. The author of the story we read thinks our whole purpose in life is to reproduce and pass on our DNA. it was heartbreaking when one of the guys in my class actually agreed with him. He doesn’t see any real purpose in life.
in Christ, I have HOPE: “the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best”
I have HOPE!! My life has PURPOSE. Every day that I’m not dead, I know that He is not done with me yet and He has more plans for my life and I can’t wait to see what they are!
now that we have this hope, we need to share it with others...this is too good to keep to ourselves!!
