When days seem endless – when the world seems to come tumbling down upon you – when you think you can go no further – when tears overtake you – when prayers seem to go unanswered – when death seems imminent. Those are just a few examples that we face as we go through life. We might even wonder why we must endure these things or that it would be better to have that life snuffed out and forgotten. We go into a dark place. We think things that we never would otherwise. We feel hemmed in, helpless and at times hopeless.

In my case, I have been on a long journey towards my Savior. I grew up in a church going family. I went to Christian schools. I met and fell in love with the love of my life. We raised a family together. We shared pain, suffering, loss, joy, peace, contentment, success and failure, but each of those things were just part of the growing up process. It’s taken a lifetime for me to really understand the One Thing that’s important to get us through this journey. I may never fully grasp complete understanding, but this I know. Without God, life is pointless.

He is the One Thing that will never waiver. He will always lead, guide, protect and shield me from whatever comes my way. He has a plan for every human being He places upon His earth. He nurtures that life – gives it meaning – tests it – pursues it – restores it and saves it. What is the one thing that gives your life purpose? Learn about your Creator. He loves you more than you can possibly imagine and His love endures forever.
