I awoke this morning with a strange detachment. I felt alone. purposeless. empty. I thought about all the things that have in the past few days made me feel fulfilled. or the company I've been with that has kept me from aloneness. Or the things that I've been a part of that have given me a purpose. Even thoughts of them brought me no comfort.
I turned to the word of God. For as Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, where would we go? You alone have the words of eternal life".
I read Mark. In it, I saw Jesus. His actions, His words, His purpose. His company. I saw that He came to restore humanity to the Father where all these things are found. I saw that He proved well the authority He had to do this - in every situation.
I again found the purpose, the company, and the fulfillment of my life in being justified by the life and death of Jesus Christ.
I today have a renewed vision for the company, actions, and purpose in the life being lived out in me daily.
It is so distressing to realize how many different things I have been finding myself in, and then so freeing to find there is only one that is true. Praise to Jesus.
