Hi Gordon,

My first thought is repentance. Reconciliation happens between God, and it plays out between other relationships. Loving my neighbor comes to mind. It could be showing a kindness, telling the truth, being gentle (I know I need work on this area), or visiting a convalescent home. It could be loving your wife and thinking about her needs above your own (another area I need work on). In a nutshell, becoming more like Jesus Christ.

Repentance is one of my first thoughts too. I want to put the major straying behind me for good.
 
questdriven:

You know, it's kind of a good aim but first and foremost, I want my Bible reading and prayerful activities before the Lord to make me a better person before Him, and be a good testimony.

And to help and encourage others who have similar aims.

The world is under judgment and we are waiting for the Lord to return, but He still may have those whom He wants us to reach. (The world itself is a lost cause, prior to the Second Coming.)

Actually, your interest in art, sounds great. Are you kind of thinking of specifically Christian messages in art? painting, designs, etc?

Blessings.
True.

I don't plan for Christian-themed art to be all I do, but that is part of the idea. I like sketching and digital painting best.
 
Hi Gordon, et al. Your post intrigued me. I am living and breathing the topic of meaning and purpose in life with my dissertation right now and just created a course on this topic. Praying 4 u all. Be blessed.
