Is
it possible to live without purpose? People will devise a purpose, even if
contrived of nothing more than accumulating things. Material things provide
only short-term pleasure and do little to strengthen and solidify your integrity.
Integrity is strengthened and fortified when you know that your life, your ideals,
and beliefs exist for a significant, godly purpose.
Speaking on this subject, General
Douglas MacArthur said, "You don't get old from living a specific number
of years; you get old because you abandon your ideals. Years wrinkle your skin,
but renouncing your ideals wrinkles your soul. Worry, doubt, fear, and despair
are enemies that bring us down and turn us to dust before we die." An
ideal is an honorable or worthy principle that supports integrity.
Believing
you have a godly purpose for living is a wonderful choice. Purpose for living is
a blessing to God that brings hope to yourself and others. Never close the door
to what God can do with you, whatever your age. Jesus stands at the door of
your life waiting for an invitation to come in.
