GOALS AND COMPASSION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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
