What are you living for? What is it in your life that when it ends your life too ends? Many people lived for different reasons that made lives miserable for them and even cut short the lives of some of them. But there is what to live for to enjoy a fulfilled life. You can enjoy a fruitful and long life when you live for the right reason.
As I was taking a walk in the morning, I for the first time took note of a bill board. It had written on it, “We live for superstars” and it had the pictures of three sport stars on it too. I wondered how long they would live for them. What if they fall out with the public or die early? What would they now live for?
Unfortunately people choose the wrong thing to live for. Some live for their children, careers, reputation, money, people, etc. And if something unpleasant happens, they become devastated. Some die not too long after the incidence because they can’t cope with the loss or shame.
Is there really what to live for to enjoy life on earth to the full? Yes. It has to be durable and able to outlive you. The reason should be such that if anything goes wrong, your joy will still be intact. You should be able to share it with others. It should make you desire long life.
I know you may be wondering what can fit all these and many more. Philippians 1:21 gives us the answer. It says, “For me to live is Christ...” Jesus Christ is what to live for to enjoy a most fulfilled life on earth. When you have Jesus, you have everything: joy, peace, long life, prosperity, etc. Having Jesus does not reduce you, instead it increases you. Read more...
