The following conversation occurred between a canary in a cage and a lark on a window sill.
The lark looked in at the canary and asked, "What is your purpose?"
"My purpose is to eat seed"
"What for?"
"So I can be strong."
"What for?"
"So I can sing," answered the canary.
"What for?" continued the lark
"Because when I sing I get more seed."
"So you eat in order to be strong so you can sing so you can get seed so you can eat?"
"Yes."
"There is more to you than that," the lark offered.
"If you'll follow me I'll help you find it, but you must leave your cage."
It's tough to find meaning in a caged world.
What is the purpose of YOUR life?
sacrificed upon the altar of godlessness is the purpose of man.
But with God in your world, you aren't an accident or an incident; you are a gift to the world.What makes us special is not our body but the signature of God on our lives. We are his works of art. We are created in his image to do good deeds. We are significant, not because of what we do, but because of who we are.
You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Cause you're all I want,
You're all I need
You're everything,
everything
