A HIGHER PURPOSE

Mark 12: 30

 

30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’[a] This is the first commandment.

 

I have found a higher purpose that transcends the realities of this world

I have found a higher purpose, far beyond the hustle and bustle of life

I have found a higher purpose, higher than the greatest clarion call of all

I have found a higher purpose that’s deeper than the noblest cause.

 

I have found a greater purpose that’s much more precious than gold

I have found a greater purpose which money of any currency cannot afford

I have found a greater purpose that excites the humblest mind of man

I have found a greater purpose that thrills the very heart of God

 

This purpose is more valuable than the richest of diamonds

This purpose is more precious than the purest gold

This purpose is more beautiful than the finest silver

This purpose is more adorable than the brightest of pearls

 

It’s the ‘praise’ of The Almighty, the Most High God

It’s ‘worship’ in the court of my King, the only true God

It’s the ‘love’ of an unseen Deity, the ruler of the universe

It’s the ‘service’ of His Majesty, The One enthroned on high

 

It’s a deeper purpose – a ‘passion’ for His work

It’s a deeper purpose – a ‘desire’ for His ways

It’s a deeper purpose – an ‘interest’ in His things

It’s a deeper purpose – the ‘seeking’ of His will

It’s a deeper purpose – a ‘longing’ for His presence

It’s a deeper purpose – a ‘yearning’ for His fellowship

 

Truly I have found a divine purpose and it suffices my soul to stay in this pursuit.

 

What about you?
