“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Matthew 22:37-40)
When I awoke this morning I knew my purpose. I haven’t always understood what that is, especially when faced with life challenges and conflict. I have asked, “Why am I here?” The answer is that my God has breathed the breath of life into me, one more day. You see, I’m learning to look to Him in the small things, the mundane, the simplicity of life. I will have to show up today and be intentional so that I don't take my God or people for granted, especially those I love. I will have to slow down and be present. I will have to allow myself to be vulnerable again and again, even after I’ve been hurt and disappointed, and forgive so that I can let someone hug me again. What is my purpose? “Whatever my hand finds to do, do it with all my might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where I’m destined to go one day.” Dear Lord, help us to live life to the fullest, love you with all our heart, and treat others as we want to be treated because that is the simplicity of life. Help us to begin each day with purpose. GiGi❤️
