Ive been thinking about how everything really is meaningless. (ecc.)
I really like to wear dresses, pretty flow-y sundresses in particular. I feel so free.. like a bird sort of.. when I wear one.
That wont matter when i'm dead.
I also love my friends, and there are certain ones im particularly fond of!
Wont matter when we're all dead.
The things we spend money on, spend our time doing, spend our time loving, most of it wont matter.
Ive heard it said "Preach Jesus and die. " that pretty much sums up what a meaningful life is.. assuming whoever is preaching is loving and living out what they preach.
And living it out is so much simpler than we make it out to be!!
It occurred to me recently its not some huge task we have to do every day, but in everything we do just do it for someone else.
Driving? Pray for someone. Be a courteous driver... you know when there is a nice guy who gets over just to let you pass or something. Makes my day better!
Got money in the bank? Give it to someone in need
In a public place? Compliment someone, or encourage someone! How about share the love of Jesus with someone!
Idk what other circumstances you live every day.. but lets just be real honest here. If everything you do points to yourself then your life wont count. And it wont matter that it doesnt count. Yay Jesus loves you, but its not about you. And it sure as heck fire aint about me.
We dont remember anyone from 100 years ago, there have been significant moments in the past and people who have molded our society.. but they dont matter.
The only thing that matters is God and His glory. THE only thing.
... I drafted this a few days ago so i could read it later and see if i wanted to post it. I still do... but just wanted to clear up somethings.
Don't belittle the love the Lord has toward you... because that does matter. And you matter to Jesus. Very very much... just not so much to someone you'll never meet. So while on this earth point to the things that will matter so those people you will meet might know and really know the love of Jesus.
