What does life want from me?

going?"

I love dogs. Someone once said that "dog" is "God" spelled
backwards. A dog is unconditional in his love to his owner.
God's love is unconditional to His creation.
Dogs have lived so long with man that they seem to know the mind
and ways of man more so than any other domestic animal; however,
there is one significant gap in our relationship. As a man, I
can reason and think ahead to form opinions and conclusions.
Obviously animals can't reason on the same level.
If I point my finger to the horizon and ask you to look at the
sunset, you will probably look beyond my finger to the horizon;
however, it's a different story for my dog. If I point my finger
toward my pet's feeding dish, he looks at my finger only. He
never looks beyond my finger to his feeding dish. He can't
rationalize and and make the right assumptions. I usually have
to lead him there with my finger.
Have you ever asked this question: what do I want out of life?
Were you able to answer it to your satisfaction? If not, maybe
you are asking the wrong question. Maybe you should ask this
question: what does life want from me? Can you answer that
question? What does life want from you?
The best way to answer that question is with the Bible. Why? The
Bible is a "divine pointer." In and of itself it is merely paper
and ink, but what it points to is life beyond physical life. You
see, the Bible is God's Word to you and me, and it tells us what
God wants with our lives. Each has a void in his or her life
that can only be filled by a relationship with God through His
only begotten Son Jesus Christ.
If I could point you somewhere today, I'd point you to the Word
of God. I'd advise you that when you get there, look beyond the
page and print to its author Jesus Christ. I'd encourage you to
seek out His answers for your life and live in Him always.
Keep the faith. Stay the course. Jesus is coming soon:
therefore, keep looking to the eastern sky while your feet are
planted firmly on this planet, helping others.
