Your Question:
can i still have a fulfilling life even if my career is over and i have no retirement?
Answer:
As a pastor and a Christian, I believe that our fulfillment in life comes from our relationship with God, not from our career or material possessions. While it's natural to feel a sense of purpose and identity tied to our work, we must not put our hope in these things. The Bible teaches us that "in Christ we have everything" (2 Corinthians 3:5), and that our true fulfillment comes from living for Him. I've seen this play out in my own life and in the lives of those around me. My parents, for example, retired from their careers and could have easily become disillusioned and restless. But instead, they've found new purpose and meaning in serving God and others. They've become more involved in their community and have even started a new ministry. Their story is a testament to the fact that our fulfillment in life is not tied to our career or age, but to our relationship with God. As I reflect on this, I'm reminded of the importance of living in the present moment and making the most of the time we have. We may not have a traditional career or retirement, but we can still live a life of purpose and meaning by serving God and others. As the Bible says, "Make today the best. You may never have another opportunity to do your best for God, so make today count!" (from the provided text).
