Everything is bound to change...
You can desperately wish that everything stays the same...but then the reality of this cursed and fallen world do not permit such lunacy to happen.
Things deteriorate, circumstances change, and relationships crumble...that's how life works! From the moment we are born into this world, we are slowly expiring. I'm not here to scare you...but it's a reality that everyone needs to accept. Everything will eventually turn into something else as time moves on.
So if our existence is based only in the corrupt nature of this world...if our hope is taken from the lies of the cosmic system...if life itself has no definite meaning...then purpose is meaningless to pursue! We are just mindless goo walking on the face of this floating rock in the expanse of meaningless space.
Our outlook in life will be determined by the truths that we take in and considered as important. Remember, absolute truth will remain absolute even if we do not acknowledge it. So, what do we consider as truth?
I have been raised in a Christian home...where the only standard and absolute truth we consider is the Word of God. As a child, I have memorized verses and read through my favorite Old Testament stories. As I got older...I became skeptic and began testing the mandates of the Bible. I began doing the opposite of what was considered right and pure by the Scriptures. Yes I am saved...a believer in Christ...but a deteriorating one! It was going fine at first...but then reality struck me! It struck me so hard that it knocked me right out of college (never did finish) and began experiencing the hardships of earning money for a living.
Slowly in my Christian life did I realize how important and practical God's mandates are. Wisdom is wrapped around every verse, chapter and book in the Bible. Now...I claim in my life that God is the only constant variable in my life and His Word is the only absolute truth I will accept. Clinging to the reality of God keeps me sane in coping with the reality of this lifetime.
Now...things in my life are taking a hard turn...it pains me so much to see things not go my way and people I care for start fighting over superficial petty things...but then this is an opportunity for me to cling to Jesus Christ - our constant hope in this cruel world!
