Are you living a life worth living?

ByHanna Shiferaw

In his book, The Principles and power of vision, Dr. Myles Monroe said the following.

At age thirteen, I wrote down my vision for my life.  I carried it with me all through junior and high school. Much of what I am doing right now was on paper when I was a young teenager. Page 18

What do you want to be in life? God designed each one of us on purpose. Nobody is an accident or ordinary. Nobody can fill your place in this world. The purpose that God created you for it, it is unique.

Vision is a way of seeing your purpose in life. It is viewing your life ahead. However, most people fail to have a vision. They buried their visions under ordinary lifestyles.

As a young person, seeing much of your life ahead, to have a vision is fundamental. Vision determines who you will be. Living with vision is worth living. Know your tomorrow. Imagine yourself after five or ten years or at the end of your life. What kind of person will you be by then?  Work up on your vision day and night. Every incident life gives you turn it towards your goal. Live for one purpose in life; because that is what God intended for you.

Vision is not exchangeable. You are not here to eat, drink, get married, and have children only. Don’t get satisfied with ordinary life styles. You are far more than that. You can do much greater job. Living ordinary is living below level. Even though, it takes more courage and costs more to live according to vision, it is living according to standards.

Thus, having said those, the next question is, where does one gets a vision? The origin of vision is God. God gives vision. He also gives the instrument to fulfill it. Ask God to know the purpose you are created for. He will give you not only a vision, but also all the resources, material and personal skills that you need. It may be painful sometimes to walk on the road God has planned to reach your destiny. But, it is the right and the only way.

At last, I want to say one important thing. Live in vision. It is worth living.
