WHAT DRIVES YOUR LIFE EVERYDAY?

When you would ask people the question what drives them or what fuels them to live every single day, you would get a variety of answers. Some would say to achieve their lifelong dreams drives them. Some would say to become rich drives them. Some would say to become famous drives them. Some would even say to be accepted by people drives them. Exactly as how we would expect most people would say. And if we are going  to figure out why people have these kinds of drivers in their lives, we will get to know that because this is what the world dictates. It is what the world sets as  standard. It is what makes someone a somebody in the eyes of men. This standard of achievement, wealth, fame, etc. is just so ingrained to everyone that they form as the driver for most people. They were all set as the expectation for everyone. But the big question is are all these permanent or simply temporary drivers? 

In exploring the different stories of people falling into failures and depressions, I could certainly say all the standard drivers of life set by men are temporary and are bound to lose. I have heard stories of people falling in desperation after losing all the wealth they have tried to build all of their lives. I have heard people whose lives revolve on proving that they are the best suddenly falling into depression because someone else became better than them. They fail at the end and they suffer a lot from it. Why? It is because they have put their hopes on temporary drivers, temporary goals, temporary dreams and on a temporary life.

So, where do we put our hopes on? I say it must be put on what is everlasting. It is only in the hope for everlasting life that we can have the absolute confidence that we have the best driver in life. It is because the moment you put your hope on the everlasting life, you allow the One who is eternal and everlasting, our God to drive your life. Putting your hope on what is eternal transcends everything from this world. Your future, your dream and your life become not of this world but for the eternal life. Putting your hope in God means allowing God to drive your life. It means giving up the driver seat for God while you sit on the passenger seat. 

Yes, it might take a lot because you have become so comfortable with your lifestyle right now, but you have to think of the great price. A price of life everlasting with God. For Jesus said “that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” [John 3:16]. God’s desire for you is certainly a life everlasting. It simply takes believing in Jesus. It is simply putting your faith and hope in Jesus. It is simply seeking Jesus, our God.

And if you decide at this very moment to put your life in Jesus Christ. Please send me a personal message so we can pray for your decision.
