A Random Encouragement To You Soldiers

I was pondering the motivation behind why we do things, yesterday. There are so many things we do that we just kind of take for granted. Why do we do all these things? What makes us get up in the morning and work hard and things? What makes us want to keep going? There are so many reasons people come up with for things. So many excuses people give for the lives they choose to pursue.

The only reason it ever can solidly come down to is Jesus. He can be our only motivation. It is evident from the decline of the culture. People have no motivation for anything anymore. The suicide rates are so high. It is because without Jesus, nothing makes sense. There really is no reason for anything without Him. Think about it. There really isn't.

So, when things get tough, when we wonder if this all is meaningless, when we want to give up, when we're faced with unparalleled opposition, just remember that we're doing it all for Jesus. And He's worth living and dying for.

Very good, I heard a quote once, "Nothing that isn't worth dying for, is worth living for."
