Top 29 Bible Verses-Finding the Purpose of Life …
PLUS an everyday story from the mall…
The mall is empty…
It’s the middle of the day on a Wednesday…
And there are far more sellers than buyers in the mall.
At a kiosk where the sign shouts….
“Gold Chains by the Inch!”
A lone clerk quietly texts and scrolls through her social media account.
The woman at the cell phone kiosk…
Talks for 20 minutes to a man who leans on her counter…
He chatters on about the weather and his lunch.
Clearly not a customer.
The clerk nods and tries to make appropriate facial expressions…
But she is barely listening.
The expression on her face says it all…
“What are you doing here?”
“Better yet, what am I doing here?”
Last Saturday had been so different…
Three clerks manned the booth.
Customers stood in lines five and six deep to sign up for the free phone offer.
She knew why she was here Saturday…
To make awesome commissions!
But today?
She sighed…
And tried to pay attention to the man who was still talking nonstop.
Why not?
She has nothing better to do.
Ever been like that clerk?
Ever struggled to find a good purpose for your day?
Or for your life?
Ever wondered what the Bible has to say about finding the purpose of life?
