PURPOSE DRIVEN DESTINATION
Time after time, days go by, weeks run out, and years count the timeline of our existence. So far, it's been three decades of life, and the journey continues. Hopefully, I can go another five, maybe even six or seven decades, by His grace.
My purpose here is known, and I am only just beginning to piece the puzzle together. It has been difficult to gather the pieces, and trust me, it's even more challenging to fit them into place. They say nothing comes easy, but you will never truly understand this saying until you reach that point where you are striving to assemble your pieces, searching relentlessly to solve the mystery called LIFE.
One thing remains constant: GOD. You must stay true to Him, to His words, and to yourself. Hopefully, you will arrive at your destination at the right time. I am far from where I am destined to be, but these three incredible decades of assembling the pieces have only been preparation for the journey ahead.
Now, I am on my way. I must continue to stay true to the constant, the unchanging K—God (Many people grow too comfortable along the way and simply ignore Him)—without whom I wouldn’t have come this far.
Yes! PEACE (Perfect Peace), LOVE (True Love in its purest, undiluted form), and FAITH (Absolute Faith). Without these, you will find yourself merely going around in circles. These are not the end of the journey, but they are the essentials—the vitamins of existence.
Your Cave (If you don’t have one, you should) is the ideal place to truly know yourself. It is where you can regularly and realistically examine the workings of your mind and heart. When evaluating our progress as individuals, we often focus on external factors—social position, influence, popularity, wealth, and educational attainment. And yes, these are indeed important metrics for measuring material success, something many have achieved.
However, internal factors are far more critical in assessing personal growth as a human being. Honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, pure generosity, absence of vanity, contentment, and the willingness to serve others—qualities within reach of every soul—form the foundation of one’s spiritual life.
Who Are You?
Are You True to Yourself and Your God?
Are You at Peace with Yourself?
Remember, a saint is a sinner (the one who admits to being a sinner) who keeps on trying.
Thanks for reading.
