I do not get out of bed just to stand still and not go anywhere.
I do not go places just to be invisible and never do anything.
I do not take action just to do some thing that means nothing to me, I do some thing because it's the very thing I'm supposed to be doing at that moment.
I do not do these things without being seen by others and without ever knowing another person.
I do not want to meet new people or keep in touch with my past without a more significant meaning behind it.
I do not want to be silent in this world.
I do not want to avoid anything.
I have passions, desires, interests, opportunities, and I will seek each and every thing that I choose to seek.
I will live in the moment while simultaneously seeking the future and remembering my great past; great, not because it is spectacular to anyone else, but because it is my very own.
I have these things, think these things, feel these things, am these things; there is no avoiding myself.
...But all of this would only be enough purpose for me had I not already experienced a greater reality outside of all of it. This world; the things, the people, the majestic places my eyes have never seen--this whole planet and the whole universe--they are not enough.
They would have been, had I never experienced God. But now I know Him, and he knows me. I will say it and claim it as much as I can, where ever I am. Without shame, without fear, and without doubt.
Christ is my eternal Savior, and His love; my daily comforter.
God is my Lord, my Shepherd, my Father; and I am His servant, his sheep, and his beloved child.
The Holy Spirit is my lifeforce, my guardian, and my counselor.
And they are all one in the same.
My reality exists because they exist. My life has meaning because they are my life.
In Christ alone my hope is found; nothing else will satiate.
"Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For it the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: 'Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.' This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakeable things will remain. Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakeable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire."
Hebrews 12: 25-29
