That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. 2 Timothy 1, 12

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1, 21

The goal for my life

So one of them, the sergeant Akhromev commits suicide in a tragic way. On a piece of paper he left following message: "Everything to what my life was dedicated is getting destroyed." This is a sad statement! To give the best of oneself for a reason wich turns out to be vain.

What is our goal of life? Do we live for a good reason? To search for wealth, honour and power is egoistic and surely does not serve for a good reason. Pursueing friendship, solidarity, integration in any kind of circle is more generous, however this corresponds to a group egoism. To dedicate oneself to family, to good moral, to men's rights and to the defense of the environment is more noble but the question remains: what is the real good reason? The good reason is to let ourselves be led by God, to walk in the footprints of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.

The only good reason is to live for Jesus. This reason includes all the positive sides. Indeed, first of all Jesus Christ saves and gives life and then he will bring peace and harmony to earth. He has promises for the present and the future. Let us trust in him for the direction of our life.
