As I sit here at 2:24 pm on November 21, 2018, I reflect over my 43 years on earth. What have I done with my life, what am I doing with my life, and what is still yet to come with my life? What is my purpose in this life God gave me? Should I already know this answer at the age of 43? Have I made a difference in this life thus far? Have I made a difference in someone else's life? Age has never bothered me and turning another year older still doesn't. What is bothering me today is what am I doing to make a difference? Am I doing or have I done what God has put me here for?
Yes, today is my 43rd birthday and I have so many questions that really no one on this earth can answer for me. I am going to have to seek deeper for all these questions I do have. I have all of the resources I need but do I use them? No, I haven't been using them and they were all given to me for free. Yes, for free. I have a 24/7, 365 day a year no charge line to the only one that can answer these questions for me. Why don't I use it you ask? Good question. My answer, I am not sure why I hung up my end of the line many years. I hate to say life happened because the one on the other end of that line has never hung up on me and never will. The one on the other end of that line is still there and never hung up with hope that I will pick my end of the line back up.
Jeremiah 29:11 English Standard Version (ESV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare[a] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
I need to pick my end of the line back up and ask these questions to the one that can answer them for me. I encourage anyone that is reading this post, if you are struggling with some of the same questions I am having or anything, call out to the Lord. You also have His direct line and He will be there waiting for your call.
