Just what is my purpose in life? Is it just to worship the Lord, do your work, study, slack, play, have fun etcetc? Well, then just what "live life to the fullest" actually mean? Or is the phrase just some nonsensical rubbish which the world has come up with?

We talk about purpose. We talk about serving him in ministry. e.g. missions, worship, etc. We talk about saving the world. We talk, we talk, and we talk! However, just how much action do you see? In a church, a youth congregation, out of the whole congregation, just how many participate in what they always talk about when they talk about serving Him? Yes, i admit, i have not done much.

We talk about life. What is life, to us? Life, to someone who has no religion, may just be something where you live to please others and let yourself live in comfort! You may write nice essays to please the examiner to get good grades and land yourself in a good position! You give nice comments to get favour! yes, we may do it unconsciously, but truth is, we do such things. For, we want to suceed. We have to suceed. Isn't that the ultimum of many people in this world who don't know the Lord, what He has done for us?

So why don't we, as followers of Christ, just step out of our comfort zone, go out there, and reach out to those who need help! They may the rejects of your school, or even your own neighbours! They may be the ones who reject you, the ones who have feuds with you, but when it comes to worshipping the Lord, fufilling your purpose, just what do those small matters count as? Frankly, nothing.

Yes, human nature. We may find it difficult to accomplish. However, trying is better than nothing. Not just trying, but trying your BEST. The best, is what He would be pleased at. Go!
