Your Question:
Can I still have a life without a job?
Answer:
My friend, I've given this a lot of thought, especially as a pastor of our local evangelical church. You see, as Christians, we're called to live a life that's not just about our own desires, but about serving a higher purpose. When we're living for Christ, we're not just existing, we're thriving. And that's what I believe gives life its true meaning. You're right, if we're self-employed and don't care about the outcome, there's no reason to work. But that's not what life's about. Life's about being called to serve, to be an ambassador for Christ. When we're on a mission, we don't think about whether or not to get up, we just get up and serve. And that's where the true fulfillment lies. As Job says, "You, O God, have given me life as a prize." When we abandon ourselves to God, we're given our life as a prize, and that's when we truly start to live. So, to answer your question, yes, you can still have a life without a job, but only if you're living for something greater than yourself. It's not about the job itself, but about the purpose and meaning that comes from living for Christ. When we're surrendered to Him, we're free to live life to the fullest, and that's when we truly experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from living a life that's not our own.
