Man Is Born To Live

Boris Pasternak was a Nobel Prize winning poet and writer. Mr. Pasternak was once quoted as saying:
"Man is born to live, not to prepare for life."
I believe that we, as Christ Followers, can learn a lot from this quote. God created us to Live Life and to live it to it's fullest. He didn't create us to simply learn about Him or His word but to allow Him to live His word through us. He created us to engage our hearts with Him. As we engage our hearts with the Creator of the Universe, we are then able to engage our hearts with those around us.

As we engage our heart with God and with Friends we will then be able to live like we were created to live. I've resolved that I'm going to take God at His word and live life to the fullest, allowing Him to direct each step. How about you?

G3,

That's a great quote. I agree completely with the sentiment the post. More often than not, we get so caught up with planning and preparing what we intend to do that we never actually do it.
