Your Question:
Is this really how my life ends?
Answer:
As I sit here, reflecting on the question "Is this really how my life ends?" I'm reminded of the words of Scripture that tell me the end of my story is already written. Jesus wins, and His justice prevails. His love is boundless and irresistible, and our unity with Him exceeds our imaginations. This gives me hope, even in the midst of darkness and despair. But, I must confess, there have been times when I've felt like giving up, like my life is stuck in a rut and I'm just going through the motions. That's when I need to remember that my reliance is not on worldly opinion, but on God's sovereignty. I need to focus my eyes on Him, and not let the spiritual drain in my life go unchecked. When I do, I'm reminded that there are realities present now that can sustain my hopes, and that I have a choice to make: to nurture hope or to let it die. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with hopelessness, and I know that it's a lethal enemy. But I also know that there's a way out. It's not about trying to fix my problems or achieve some kind of perfection; it's about surrendering to God's love and letting Him work in my life. When I do, I'm reminded that my life is not defined by its struggles, but by its purpose: to know and love God, and to make Him known to others. And that's a hope worth holding onto, no matter what.
