Interesting

Read from an email sent of some guys I know out in the mission field. It just fits today for some reason.

A man without purpose is a dangerous and a restless creature, one that is vexed and without hope. But a man who follows his calling and goes about his labor is directed by God and sees good in his work. Ecclesiastes 2:24 "There is nothing better for a man to eat and drink and tell himself that his labor is good. This also I have seen, that is from the hand of God".

As we have yielded our lives unto God, we have seen Him take us to places that we never dreamed we would go. We traveled the world to the most remote tribes, the highest peaks, the densest jungles, the farthest atolls, and the most terrible of war zones, and all for one purposeā€”to preach Christ Jesus. It is more than just another task or labor, but it is life - true abundant life that we are called to. We couldn't imagine our existence any other way. If you are reading this and you do not know what you are called to be, ask of Him and He will reveal it speedily. All it takes is for you to yield and say, "Lord let your will be done in my life, lead me and guide me," and He will do it. Amen!

many times we as believers shy away from the newness of life in Him and look to our old ways that only yields sorrow. 1 Peter 2:22 "It has happened to them according to the true proverb, 'A dog returns to its own vomit,' and, 'A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire'". But life doesn't have to be this way. True life is meant to be lived for purpose in Him and God has a purpose for us all.
