My desire in these remaining years is to continue laboring to
rest in Him; not laboring in “my” self-life over earthly circumstances.
In so doing, I can be His body/vessel used for His purposes in Christ
Jesus. 2 Cor. 4:7 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that
the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from
ourselves…”.

I once was searching for answers and meaning in my own self-
life. What I found was a life that was completely devoid of real life
and could never be the source of any meaning. I’ve found that the
answer and way is through an intimate relationship with a Person.
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the
life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.” I’ve found rest in
Him, peace in Him, comfort in Him, purpose in Him, strength in Him,
true freedom in Him and have come home to His original intention.
I’ve come home to my original family in Him; Christ Jesus. My
search for meaning in life has led me to the Life in the Eternal One,
Christ Jesus, as my very own life to live. I’ve exchanged “my”
spiritual journey for His eternal journey; a river flowing with Living
Water.

Epilogue

The first family that ever existed was God’s family in heaven.
The first scripture in the Bible is Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth.” The Hebrew word for God here is
Elohim which is the Hebrew plural for God. The New Testament
elaborates on this a bit more by stating that there are three persons in
the Godhead - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19 “Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit…” Webster’s
Dictionary defines a family as a group of persons with a common
ancestry. Heaven contained the first family; the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit. Our God is a personal, relational God.
