Matt 5:14

Today as i was bumming around at home, i was just filled with a cloud of random thoughts about life...

1. We are all unconsciously advancing towards death. - It occured to me that every man has a somewhat similar fight in life. All of us, in this existence, are fighting to stay alive. As kids, we are schooled, because we need knowledge to get ahead in life. And when we are done with education, we get out into the workforce, to finally bring in the rain. And soon we marry and have kids. As we advance in years, that pay cheque prayerfully gets bigger to a point we go no further, we retire. And our kids are big, and we are OLD. And we await Death.

In the most literal and physical sense, this is all life is about in this society we live in. I wonder if anyone stops to ask if there is anything more to life than this...i wonder...

2. Is there a purpose to our existence? - i figured the answer to this question, most definitely depended on whether or not we believe in the existence of a God. If there is no god, then there is no purpose, because life would be nothing more than a struggle to stay alive. though of course, this journey does have its highs and joys involving people with different backgrounds and tastes and careers; their idiosyncracies making this world a myriad of characters and personalities. But that doesn't change the fact that life is but a bid to remain in being and in this existence, find reasons to smile and be happy. Sadly life is still but a time bomb, ticking away towards the inevitable Death. And when we are gone, all that remain are the memories of our prints in this world, and when those who once remembered us are gone too; there is nothing left of us in this world for there is no one left to remember us.

But if there is a god, then life would not be a struggle to BE. For i already am. And my journey here will not be a fight to stay alive, for i know that though my body dies, i have only gone to a better place, and i continue to BE, now here in paradise. Hence life's journey will be a time of discovery, fellowship and communion with my God. And life's "challenges", a platform for Him to BE MY GOD, for Him to lavishly shower His provisions upon me, as i continue to witness and receive His unmerited favour in my life with each passing day. And my purpose will be to live for Him. My testimony as a letter written for its reader, or a song sung for a pair of listening ears - I carry a message of truth. And my presence will leave an everlasting mark, even unto eternalty.

...Thoughts, i thank god for thoughts...

Its time to sleep.
