Campfire Conversations in 100 Years

In the midst of all you have to do today, what matters most can get fuzzy. Let this provide some clarity.

Here’s what it all comes down to. What kind of life do you want—a safe, predictable one or a story filled with mystery that forces you to lean into God? Which do you think will transform you into a person of depth and wisdom? Which life will people remember and talk about around campfires a hundred years from now?

Spend your life pursuing what you most enjoy doing—together with God. Raise a family. Invest in your passion. Chase your dreams. In all of it, remember this.

God’s primary goal isn’t to teach you lessons. He’s a Father who teaches, not a Teacher who fathers. And a Father’s deepest desire is to invite his sons and daughters into more intimate relationship with him. Which means God didn’t primarily create us so we would do things for him. Or even to learn lessons about him. His primary reason for creating us is so we can be with him.

So be that. Be a teacher. Be a poet. Be a basketball player. Be a ballerina. Be a spouse. Be a parent. Be whatever he is inviting you into—just do it with him.
