What is the purpose of your life.?
For the believer, his purpose has been given up and he has taken the purpose of
the Creator. That means he no longer lives except as unto the Lord.
This privilege is a tremendous protection for us, but few are really interested.
Our own purposes seem so real and so large and so urgent. As soon as they are
all satisfied, then and only then, are we available to fully serve, or so we think.
And, of course, our own agenda never ends. Life simply unravels and unravels,
and unless we stand before the Throne and daily state the truth - we are dead to the
world and alive in Christ - we travel through life winding the string again, following the
great unraveling, hoping to put things in order.
It can never happen.
Only when we agree with God can there be efficiency and the working out of
what is real and critical.
Soldier of the Cross, why is it that some are always able to minister? Why is it that
some eagerly drop their unresolved crises to run to the rescue of others?
Why is it that some do not seem often disappointed? Is theirs an easier lot?
No. Those Soldiers of the Cross have decided to put their own lives behind
them and take up the Cross - the place of the death of the flesh - and follow Him.
If you have to know where He is going in order to follow, you will not know freedom
in this life.
But if you are willing to follow because He has called, you will know Abundant Life.
All He said was ". . .take up your cross and follow me. . ."
