"They are sweet people and their hearts are starting to long for involvement in a purpose and a cause for Christ."
No one who is truly saved can live a life without purpose. No matter your occupation or your situation there is a cause. The reason we exist is to love God and to make Him known. This is the cause of Christ.
The Bible tells us that before we were saved we had aimless conduct. We see that in our endeavors before Christ. We would bounce from one thing to another thinking we knew what was important. Looking back now we understand the end of those roads was dead and empty.
Now that we have given our hearts to the Lord we know there are better things in store for us. We have a reason to live and to love others. When we see others living an aimless purposeless life we know the way and can show it to them.
King David when confronted by a terrible enemy who was breathing out blasphemies looked at an army that was too scared to fight and said "Is there not a cause?" When we are lifeless and shaking in fear from an enemy who is already defeated we need to shake ourselves and get back to our purpose.
We have a cause and we have a reason for living. Let's pursue it with everything we have.
How can we discover more of our purpose? In what way does the cause motivate us?
