"At the close of life the question will not be how much have you got, but how much have you given; not how much have you won, but how much have you done; not how much have you saved, but how much have you sacrificed; how much have you loved and served, not how much were you honoured" - Nathan C. Schaeffer
Phil 1: 9 (KJV)
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
The natural love in humans is a selfish love. It takes delight in drawing attention to itself by enriching itself and doing so at all cost even at the expense of others, making oneself seemingly happy by placing worth on possessions but not so much in serving other people. This kind of love does not have in itself the ability to make life truly meaningful. It is has been sort of proven that leading a happy life is associated with being a " taker" while living a meaningful life corresponds with being a "giver". I believe you know that you should not just seek to live a happy life but a meaninhful life.
In order to achieve this, allow me to direct your gaze to a more excellent way. In this way, you will learn and choose to pursue the substance of things that make you rich by you giving all away. You will see yourself become a better person by helping and wishing others to be better. This kind of practice places you above all even in the sight of all by you letting go and allowing Him that has made you run your life the way He ran His when He walked this earth. As you give yourself to true love your life becomes beautifully wholesome. It is common place today for people to seek honour but to give meaning to your life you'll not focus on you being honoured, rather your focus will be on how you can contribute in little and big ways to making the lives of others better.
At the end of time when the results will be read, only those things we did without the motive of selfishness will matter. We'll find nothing of value in all the times we put ourselves first and turned away from helping people become better. You'll only find true joy and happiness then in the fact that you lived your life with less of you in mind. It is my prayer and heart's desire that this rhythm of true love becomes what people hinge their lives on all over the world so that this world can be a better place. This desire will be one step closer to being achieved if you begin to live your own life from this perspective. As you do, someone else will take notice of you and will be inspired to copy your lifestyle.
Keep Living,Keep Loving.........LOVE ISSUES.
