Life without purpose
is barren indeed
There can't be a harvest
unless you plant seed,
there can't be attainment
unless there's a goal,
and man's but a robot
unless there's a soul......
If we send no ships out,
no ships will come in,
And unless there's a contest,
nobody can win,,,,,,
For games can't be won
unless they are played,
and prayers can't be answered
unless they are prayed
Not just for pleasure,
enjoyment or health,
Not just for honors
and prestige and wealth.....
But pray for a purpose
to make life worth living.
and pray for the "JOY"
of unselfish giving,
For great is your gladness
and rich your reward
When you make your life's purpose
the choice of the Lord.
