Everything Is Meaningless

Remember Your Creator While Young
 7 Light is sweet,
   and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
8 However many years anyone may live,
   let them enjoy them all.
But let them remember the days of darkness,
   for there will be many.
   Everything to come is meaningless.  9 You who are young, be happy while you are young,
   and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
   and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
   God will bring you into judgment.
10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart
   and cast off the troubles of your body,
   for youth and vigor are meaningless.

 There are two things that last, the word of God and the souls of men. These things are not meaningless. I have been very busy working at the Easterfest office, and even when I am not here I catch myself thinking about it or something else. Right now I am asking God to maintain the divine order in my life that I would not conform to this world but be transformed by the renewing of my mind. Inside of this order I can have PEACE. I don't have to worry or fret about anything. I'm happy staying busy and love to work but I cannot let myself get caught up in all this work if things are not in order in my spirit. I have been blessed with a peace beyond all understanding and thank Jesus for that. Inside of Gods divine order I find purpose in doing everything not just as if I am doing it for him but I am doing all for him. 

I don't want to let anyone think that I feel the work I'm doing is meaningless but if it remains just work it is. I have the Joy of working with amazing people and doing work that will change peoples lives. Data entry, Email, mail-out, pick up the mail, take out the trash, meetings, ect.......

ALL MEANINGFUL :) 

Love the friends and fam back home. Talk to y'all soon.

  1. Solomon saw everything as meaningless because he could not pass his wisdom to someone else. However, you, Jonathan you have the blessed privilege of training someone else to take out the trash in the future. :) ....be a servant...build a servant
