#Goals

As of writing, there are more than 11 million posts on IG about #Goals... and there are about 50 different hashtags pertaining to goals where in #relationshipgoals is about 1.5 million.

I see #lifegoals, #friendshipgoals, #fitnessgoals, #couplegoals, #familygoals, #futuregoals, #summergoals, #hairgoals... etc.

Nowadays, complicated is better... people challenged not just themselves but the world -- yes, the world.

In the long list of #goals, I notice that all are temporal...

#travelgoals, #careergoals, #businessgoals... #lovelifegoals, #bestfriendgoals...

Everything is temporary...

Then, I checked other hastags,  #FaithGoals - 1,634 posts while #ChurchGoals - 374 and surprisingly, #FollowJesusGoals doesn't even exists...

These are actual digits... and I think I have raised the point...

While we were busy in fulfilling many challenging life goals... it seems that we overlook the most important one, the #lifechanginggoals.. our #eternalgoals (298 posts).

Let us not allow these temporary things to occupy our lives and steal our time in pursuing the #eternalgoals...

We may have a lot of plans for our family, for our career, we dream of visiting many places or doing a lot of extra challenging things...but above all these, on top of everything, there is Jesus - it should be our #ultimategoal - to know and follow Jesus, to obey His teachings and to live a life that glorifies His name.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. --Matthew 6:33
ALL THESE THINGS. All our goals will be #achieved...

As long as we #SeekHisKingdom, FIRST...

Because at the end of the day, we may have #push and tried our best, but it is #OnlyByHisGrace that we will accomplish these things...

While we may have goals and a sense of mission about our lives, our lives are not really ours to plan.

I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps. — Jeremiah 10:23
