5 Days From Grace for the Moment (Note-Taking Edition)预览

Mine deep enough in every heart and you’ll find it: a longing for meaning, a quest for purpose.

As surely as a child breathes, he will someday wonder, “What is the purpose of my life?”

Some search for meaning in a career. “My purpose is to be a dentist.” Fine vocation but hardly a justification for existence. Who they are is what they do; consequently, they do a lot. They work many hours because if they don’t work, they don’t have an identity.

For others, who they are is what they have. They find meaning in a new car or a new house or new clothes. These people are great for the economy and rough on the budget because they are always seeking meaning in something they own.

Some try sports, entertainment, cults, sex, you name it. All mirages in the desert of purpose.

Shouldn’t we face the truth? If we don’t acknowledge God, we are flotsam in the universe.
