The Joys of Life

I swiped this off another blog:


We seldom realize fully that we are sent to fulfill God-given tasks.

We act as if we were simply dropped down in creation and have to decide to entertain ourselves until we die.

But we were sent into the world by God, just as Jesus was.

Once we start living our lives with that conviction, we will soon know what we were sent to do.

Henri J. M. Nouwen

*************************************

Well, not quite exactly like Jesus was - he was sent to save the world from sin,

and I'm sure that I can't even save one person from sin.

But the idea.

We have a mission here.
