” Heaven is the true end goal that we are striving for. We can only hope to earn a reserved seat at His banquet.”
“What is the meaning of life?” “What is my purpose?” “What was the point?” It always comes full circle, these age old questions. Some spend their whole lives trying to understand and discern the answers. Perhaps it’s searching for ones passion, leaving behind a legacy or these questions are just an afterthought from the day to day.
So really, what IS the point of our existence? This question was recently posed to me by a good friend. Three reflections came to mind:
- Heaven is the true end goal that we are striving for. We can only hope to earn a reserved seat at His banquet.
- If I’m still here on earth, then there is still work to be done for His glory and for others.
- God has still given me time and opportunities to make up for my past misgivings.
At least personally, life can really be summed up in those 3 simple points. Yes, there will always be ups and down. But we’re still here and have a chance to love more. A chance to earn that reserved seating.
