Consider your calling. What are you doing with your life? What are you focused on?
People ask what you’ll do with your life. Probably go to school. Get a job. Yeah. Is that what you want to be remember for? Sure new how to make a good burger. Or code. Or edit. Or speak.
You are not average. Not the norm. Don’t try to be. The norm is missing the point. They are collecting napkins from all the different restaurants at wonderland, trying to get one of each. Not the point. Wonderland is about the rides. And food. With friends. Not napkins.
Life is not about popularity. Or grades. Or money. Or followers. Or romance. Or fitness.
- these things are tools. Don’t be a tool collector. Be a builder.
- The thing we build is relationship.
- The most important one is God. And then the people he gives you.
Is your life about stuff? I like stuff. But if my life is only as nice as my stuff, will people be happier when I’m gone, so they can have my stuff? Gotta find a better focus.
Or is your life about people. Fitting in. Being cool.
We have a fear of being lonely. A desire to be accepted. These are normal, good things, like hunger is a healthy warning. Food needed soon. Tired. Need rest soon. But if we satisfy it the wrong way, it messes us up. I eat too much. I don’t want to ever feel hunger. Maybe you hate feeling tired. So you caffeinate or stimulate.
If you fear being lonely, so you try to fit in with the majority. (The majority is headed the wrong way. Broad path leads to hell) don’t follow the crowd.
These good desires are meant to be mostly satisfied in God. He is always with you. You don’t have to feel lonely. He also wants you to be with people, it’s not just you n Jesus in a desert island for ever. But mostly God. Without God, it’s like trying to fill up on just soup. Fills you up for a minute. But soon, you’ll need some substance.
He accepts you. Jesus was perfect. And said we can have his marks if we follow him. Perfection. Not based on my performance. I’m accepted. And God is proud of my efforts to become like him.
There’s life to be found here guys. He understands you. He cares. He doesn’t leave.
Be with him.
So your life. Is there space for him? Pause app. Bible reading. Think about dedicating a time n space to him. Make it special. He wants to meet you.
He’s waiting for you. And as we wait for him, we become like him.
This is a huge part of your life’s calling. Figure it out on the way.
A boss I had, he always said it’s fixing the plane while we’re flying. No getting it perfect first. Invite God into this moment. Right now. And before bed tonight. Into your meals. Into your class. Your next game. Next reel. Next chat. Next problem. Next fight.
He’s calling you to chase him. Will you?
Ask.
Seek.
Knock.
