Recently I got to know a new colleague better. He was sharing with me why he would take a lower pay rather than a higher pay with greater responsibility and position. He was sharing with me there is no point working so hard till you burn out and what kind of life he wants to lead. One of his bosses literally died as a result of overwork. The management had placed so much pressure and stress upon him that 2 days after he delivered his project, he died of some unexplained reasons. The people in the management were so guilty that most of them gave generously during his funeral wake to redeem themselves. So my colleague has got all the reason to say what is the point of working so hard. However our conversation led me to ponder again what is the meaning of life.
In my own opinion, experiencing a fulfilling and rich life would mean experiencing God’s grace and favor in my life and sharing these blessings and testimonies of the goodness of God with people that I meet. God blesses us to bless others and that can be very joyful especially if it blesses the person spiritually. I remembered Pastor Amos once shared how a young Christian laid hands on a blind person and seeing the black iris forming literally. I thought living with such experiences and you will never say life is boring again.
