People Watching

I wrote this while people watching in Prague about a year ago. The Chezch Republic is one of the darkest populations in the world. Less than 1% are Christians and the majority are atheist/agnostic. It made me realize just how much we need Jesus or life is pointless. 

People can spend their whole lives running at warp speed with their nose to the ground. Others wonder aimlessly glancing from east to west, north to south, just to forget what they have seen five minutes later. Some try to skate by without being seen; while others jump up and down to get what little attention they can. Some travel in packs, while others are loaners. It amazes me how much of life we all miss everyday. Even if we think we are taking time to savor each moment we get caught up in the little things of life: work, goals, friends, family, drama, love, longing, tasks, stres...the list goes on and on. But if we really think about it, the things we think distract us from life are, in fact, the very components that are our lives. As long as we take time for the parts we treasure most, we live life to the fullest.

While this may be a great view of life for most people, life to the fullest consists of fulfilling a purpose. Not a purpose we set for ourselves, mind you, but a grander purpose. One that was thought of long ago. That one which I speak is the exact one, in which, we were created to fulfill. The only way to do that is to seek after the Mastermind that thought of the purpose long ago. The Mastermind that created us for that specific purpose. To seek Him can take a lifetime. While the fulfillment of that purpose is grand, the journey along the way to find the Mastermind to reveal the purpose is what is important. As we seek glimpses of the purpose we find more out about ourselves and those around us. All of these pieces fit perfectly together creating the fullest life possible!

He = Life
