The secret to life

Here is the secret to life. God created you so that he can set his love (agape) upon you. Your whole purpose is to allow the hand of God to work in you. Remember that he is the vine dresser and you are the vine. So for the question of are you filling your purpose, depends on how you allow God to work in you. Your other purpose is to set your love (agape) upon your son. Fathers are more important than mothers in the development of a child. See, there is always a mother in this world. When Adam brought sin, our father had to look away. There is a lack of Fathering in the world. A father is a relationship that is equal and fair. A father is not independent from a family. He is the glue that keeps a family together. So your purpose as a man in this world is to allow God to love you so that you can love those around you and so your son can see God work in you so that he may be able to allow God to love him. This brings me to the two thoughts I had for you while I was reading this. Man’s punishment for his sin is “to toil”. Now In the Bible, it literally means to work the fields. The metaphoric meaning is to work a job. See, it doesn’t matter what you do for work, it is all toil. If you can find something you like, it is all the better, but remember this is the punishment for sin, so it will all become toil at some point. However, letting God work in you, relieves the pain of toil. Lastly, this is more personal advice that I have acquired over the long years of my childhood; “No matter where you go on living, you always find the remains of your dying.” Furthermore, no mater where you go, or what you do, you always find the worst of you that remains. You can’t escape it. And it is not your job to remove it. It is your job to recognize it and allow God to remove it. So dig deep and ask yourself five times why are you doing this so that you can find the root cause. Remember that you are just a vine. It is not your job to fix yourself or to fix others. God is the vine dresser. Let him fix you and let him radically change lives- through you. I wish you well in all your endeavors.
