I travelled to Belfast to attend the funeral of my oldest brother Davey,I don't go home to much, now this was a sad time, but it was also a joyous time when one met with my family and friends. My nephew and his wife had their little child there,and it reminded of the ongoing cycle of life,for the writer of Ecclesiastes it was pretty meaningless,and for some it may appear that way,but as a Christian, I see life as a gift from God,a gift that is precious.Of course for many life is hard,life is difficult,because of poverty,illness,and death,but as a Christian, I believe that my life is not defined by my circumstances, as a child of God ,my life has a greater purpose,to glorify my God and Saviour.I must never loose that focus,if I do then life will loose its meaning,so today let us all see our glorious purpose in life,that in our difficulties,trials,of whatever nature,we are called to glorify God. Our dear Saviour prayed to His father,I have glorified Thee on the earth, I have finished the work which Thou give st me do do[ John 17 v4 ] ,consider what that meant for Him,a cross.and all its suffering,none of us want to suffer, but its inevitable that we will, to some degree,the challenge for all Gods children is,to glorify our Saviour,and when we do ,then life will have meaning,and in the end eternal glory.
A prayer...../ Dear Father in heaven help us to glorify You in Jesus name and for His sake Amen /
