The Life We've Been Called To... By: The Boss No comments

Hello friends,

Where do I even start...so many things has happened ever since the last blog entry and yes, my apologies for the late updates. Everyone's been busy with one thing or another...but then again, its a good sign. Everything's picking up and gaining full momentum. Full-speed ahead, boys and gals! I'm still recovering from the bulletshots I got during the camp...2 of them, in fact! I'm a survivor...

I had an amazing time last week during the school hols in March. Man, seems like these school kids are having a feast eh? School holidays seem to be popping up every now and then! Things were different back in my days...during the 20th century. Anyway, last week a whole bunch of us went for a Lifegame Camp, which was awesome and so totally different from any camp we've ever attended! The underlying and basic principle/purpose of this camp was to help youths, teenagers and adults to understand God's purpose for their lives. Everyone tried their best to succeed in life, each having their own goals, methods and dreams. But life ain't that simple, easy and predictable, just as in reality. Just when everything seems steady and secure, you'll never know what lies ahead beyond the curbs and roads ahead! Are we prepared for it? That was the question that lingered in each of our hearts after going through this game.

Like many of us out there, we all want the basics in life...good education, good jobs, good life-partner, a lovely family, fantastic retirement plans, the prestige that comes with country clubs and platinum cards...and in the midst of all these 'attractions' and 'distractions' in life, many failed to see what's coming and prepare for His coming. In the end, I asked myself, "Was it all worth it? Living this life to just to be a part of the race to gain all these worldly possesions and satisfy my greed?" It kinda' like puts your life back into proper perspective. Makes you think and evaluate on what's important and what matters in the end. And for the many of you who share the same school of thought as me, irrespective whether you made it to heaven or not in the game, I think this camp has served its purpose.

Many in the past have asked this simple, yet profound question: What is my purpose in life? You see friends, along the years we've all attended some sort of philosophical session with someone telling us to search within our souls, evaluate our thoughts, understand the person that we are, know our inner-person, and a whole load of other suggestions in order to understand our purpose in life. The main point of reference is basically ourselves! But friends, if you think logically for a moment...how could we ever understand our purpose in life by looking at or evaluating ourselves and our thoughts??? To illustrate my point, suppose an inventor were to show you his latest invention. Would you be able to know the purpose and function of the invention simply by looking and referring to it? You might, but you wouldn't understand its full purpose of creation. The only was to truly know is to refer to the inventor himself!

Humans beings are not the creation of our own hands. And the only way to know the purpose and destiny of our lives is to ask the very one who created us...God. For too many times, we've been searching for answers in the wrong places - looking within ourselves. To understand the reason you were born at such a time like these, there's only one place to look for the answers... i pray that each one of you will take the time to think and reflect and ask God to reveal the plans and purpose that He has in store for each one of you. To live for His purpose and walk in His path...it's the life we've been called to. Let's get excited, friends!
