"The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started." John 4:34 (MSG)
THE POINT
What will be the point? I wonder.
This is what I stop to ponder.
Of all the time it took to teach,
Years preparing me to reach,
So much behind me now I know.
Lost, so easily away I throw
These seconds, minutes, gone too fast
Hours and days not meant to last
How careless, expending energy each day
On frivolous choices; shards of clay
Inside there beats a grander scheme
Focused there it feels supreme
Harkening to others' awakening dreams
Giving a push until fear careens
In its place, they find their feet
Planted in soil; life replete
Uncovering secrets some found too late
Rather found sooner, there's no debate
A life spent without a theme, no mean,
Might as well have never been
While wondering, how much I'd squander
A heartmap led me toward a way fonder
Peaceful, observing more closely than ever
Gazing into eyes of souls, whoever
Listening for clues in this endeavor
Waking at last to my forever.
--Christie Krull
So, how will you waste your life? Which will it be from the list below?
A) Waste-to use carelessly, selfish, risky
B) Waste-to use or expend with no vision or plan
C) Waste-to use or expend extravagantly with purpose driven by your passion for good.
I choose C. I will waste away, at following my passions and callings to lift others up; sending them whole and on their way.
