Living Life Purposefully

There were many happenings in the past month... the most significant being the passing of 2 person closed to us, in the church. One was 16 and the other 41. Both happened in a week. One of the reflection I have is that death is going to hit every single person... like what SP says all the time. " The statistic of death is 1 in 1". Yet, sometimes, I realised that we focus so much on unimportant things... The context of what I am writing is w.r.t work... we scrutinised numbers, went into heated discussion about how much money the project is worth to us, the office politicings etc... sound familiar huh?

I guess when death strikes... we bring away nothing of our earthly achievements and wealth accumulation. What do I want my life to count?

On the other hand, we also had the EM GDOP(Global Day of Prayer) on the 31st Oct. We had senior leadership of the corporation joining hearts with Christians all over the globe to pray for our organisation. It was a glorious moment how God united our hearts to be praying with brothers and sisters in other parts of the world.... Houston, Fairfax, Shanghai, Nigeria, Doha, Hong Kong, Taiwan ,Thailand, UK, Malaysia, Panyu, Calgary and Singapore. The EM GDOP was a vision God has given to the late PK, 3 years ago... even though she has gone home to be with the Lord, the seed that she has planted is beginning to bear fruits... The bible says," He who believes in Me, even though he dies, he lives" and surely, what it means is that the work in the Lord continues to "live" on.... just like when Abraham believed God, the nation of Israel was only established 400years later, which lasted till today.... because Abraham believed.

One of the quote that I always find meaningful is from the movie, braveheart.... "Every man dies, but not every man really lives"

How then are you living your life?
