Thought for the Week: Wonder

It seems to us that life has a sense of meaning and purpose. So what does this notion mean to us in a relationship with God and world we live in?

What if God created us to be present in this specific time?

What if where we live right now,  our current occupation, and our social setting had some level of intention or design behind them? Just as the exact mixture of gases combine to create an atmosphere that can sustain life, is it possible that just the right combination of elements already exist that would allows us to see our ambitions and dreams realised?

If we were to adopt the point of view that where we are right now and what we do is not an accident or chance circumstance, but rather our best shot at living life the way it was meant to be lived, would this change the way we engaged in?

Would we still take that O.E. we planned since college?

Would we still put an offer on that house?

Would we still be hanging out with that set of friends?

Sometimes being connected with God seems to pose more questions than provide answers. But these are questions worth seeking answers for. Treating life as mundane or ordinary seems such waste of opportunity when the potential of a great life, one that God wants us to experience, lies right round the corner.

Makes you wonder aye.
