What would you do if...

What would you do if... you had all this knowledge regarding God's plan, and had no family with you, no place you can call

home, no aspirations for traveling and get know new places, no-one really waiting for you anywhere, no

aspirations for starting a family, no aspirations for having a house, no aspirations for making big money, 

but only the ability to survive well almost anywhere you would decide to go (trough craft and labor skills); and a young and healthy body and mind  ....





ps. This post is not about sad existential troubles... Our goal in life is to lead a quiet and piety life, working with our own hands, minding our own business...  If you put attention, this is just kind of an exiting scenario to think about.

 I think I'd just stay prayerful for God to open up the way for me to serve people. All the knowledge of God's plan does us very little good if we don't live a life of love. You can do that with or without a family, a home, a big career. In fact, career and stuff often get in the way of living a life of service.

Hi Octoberose

What a good response. Thanks for sharing.
Also it's true that you can't truly love people (unselfishly) without the knowledge of God's plan of the salvation of all. From this knowledge God can give us faith, and from this faith we can get patience, self control, brotherly love, agape love, etc. (which are the necessary tools to love people unselfishly).

Another thing to mention is that all the good deeds we could be able to perform do very little good to us, if we don't do them out of true love. (Specially because vanity and our ego often get on the way).

I believe Ray did I good job on serving people. And I know a couple other persons who do alike.


Lately I have been traveling a lot. I do have a few projects, plans, and small aspirations. But I will stay prayerful for God to open up the way for what's next for me.

Everyone feel free to try my shoes at least for a little bit on this thread!

You could start a cult.  ;)

Hey Moises,

I sympathesize with you greatly my dear brother. I know that if my medical eandevors fall through I don't know where I will go or what I will do. I will know soon though if my pursuit into medicine is going to be taking a drastic turn or not. It is a bit worrisome no matter how much we try and keep our eyes on Christ. We are all still very human.

I want to provide for my family but if this dream of mine falls and fails, though I know I am not abandoned by God, I certainly worry about how I will provide for them. God says that He feeds the sparrows and that they worry not what they shall eat, and the lilies of the fields too... so I know God will provide but as I said, we are all human.

I'm here for you dear brother, we are the body of Christ and we should care for one another.

Galatians 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Romans 12:9-13 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.  In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another; in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;  rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer; communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.

John 13:34-35 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

God bless,
Alex
