THINGS WORTH LIVING FOR

Life is a gift that God has give us all and that life is meant to be invested to benefit those around us as we live to fulfil God's assignment for our lives.
in business we talk about the 'mark up'. It's your net profit, your bottom line reward. Here is the truth that you need to know: When you live for yourself and fail to fulfil your destiny and live for what matters, the 'mark up' will not be worth the investment. Solomon writes, 'so I turned in despair from hard work, it was not the answer for my satisfaction in this life. For though I do my work with wisdom knowledge and skill, I must leave everything I gain to people who haven't worked to earn it. This is not only foolish but highly unfair(Eccl.2:18 NIV). Or as John Cappozi puts it, 'The executive who works from 7am to 7pm everyday will be successful. He will also be fondly remembered by his wife's next husband.
The day is coming when the stuff you've striven, strained and stressed out to squire will make no difference. Your resume and job title will no longer press anyone. No one will care what cloths you wore or what car you drove, except your relatives who plan to wear them, drove them or sell them. If you are you will plan to exit this life  with a 'mark up'. And that involves these three things : a) The satisfaction that comes from having fulfilled your life assignment here on earth . b) The success that's measured in terms of eternal rewards rather than temporal ones. c) The security that comes from knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour. These are the only things that's worth living for! .

Prayer Point

Father God, open my eyes to see and know what's important and grant me grace to live for the same in Jesus name.
