Not Pointless
There is good
reason...
Living is not
pointless...
What I am doing
is useful
and will not be
lost....
Why do I do
what I do?
For whom?
For myself? For
others? For God?
What is my
basic motivation
for rising each
day, for living?
For doing, for
thinking, for striving ahead?
What drives me
to write, to draw,
to listen, to
read,
to try, to try
even harder
to practice
what I preach?
Is there a
positive lure
somewhere out
there
or one that
whispers from within?
What stimulates
my imagination
to reach for
the best?
Is it pure
selfishness?
Am I only
thinking of myself?
Let that never,
ever be!
Am I
deliberately trying, hoping
to please
another?
Is it just me
behind all this,
or is there
another whose heart
I hope to bring
pleasure to?
Do I hope to
win someone's "Well done!"?
Am I by faith
working towards
a commending that is not useless?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
It is for my
creator
that I am
trying to incite others
provoking them
into positive good.
It is for my
saviour
that I place my
goals along the road
he has marked
out
choosing to
step out, to travel along this road
marked with
suffering.
It is for him,
who is foremost in my mind
that I make my
study where I can hear the birds
and view what
is happening within my home.
It is for him,
and because it is for him,
it is for you
too.
