GOALS AND COMPASSION
We ALL need goals
In life
GOALS that reflect vision
Goals that really matter
Goals that INCLUDE GOD
Of course
We need to have
Personal goals
But we have
To include God
In our personal goals
OR what is the point
At least
That is the way
That I feel
“So we made it
OUR GOAL to please him
Whether we are at home
In the body or away from it
For we must all appear
Before the judgment seat
Of Christ
That each one may receive
What is due him
For the things
Done while in the body
Whether good or bad”
2 Corinthians 5:9-10
How are you doing
With your goals
Do you have
That significant other
Are you satisfied financially
Do you have many failings?
My goal
Is to live
IN HARMONY and love
To love GOD with my whole body, soul
Mind, and strength
And to love others as I love myself
Some goals
Can’t be measured in quantitative terms
ONLY IN LOVE
God is the ONLY ONE
That can satisfy these types of goals
And we can only reach that goal
If we come to the end of my life
And hear
“WELL DONE
Good and faithful servant
You have been faithful
With a few things
I will put you in charge
Of many things
Come and SHARE your master’s happiness”
Matthew 25:23
One goal
That we should all have
Is to FEEL COMPASSION
For those
Less fortunate than ourselves
We should have a feeling
For those
Who have physical, spiritual,
Or emotional hurts
To feel compassion
For someone
And do nothing to help
Is not only UNFOUNDED Biblically
But is
NOT being much of a Christian
So I ask you
How are you doing
At achieving your goals
That you started out with
“Are you so foolish
After beginning with the spirit
Are you now trying to attain
Your goal by human effort”
Galatians
3:3
In my book
If you are loving God
Loving others
And living your life
With compassion
YOU ARE A SUCCESS
