Do you believe in destiny? Do you believe that you are a unique creation, and that you were put here for a purpose? Do you know what that purpose is? You can believe the underlying principles without knowing your own purpose, but if you believe the principles you should want to know and live in it. Can you follow the principles to their logical conclusion? If you have a unique contribution assigned to you and you don’t make it, then the world is impoverished for the lack of it. Don’t let a stone cry out because you won’t. Don’t let the world be diminished because you held back. 

I said that if you seek, you would find. Do you find this to be a tremendous promise; that your searching would not be in vain? Is there anything more frustrating than a fruitless search? Consider the unstated implication of this promise. If you find what you look for, you have to be looking for the right things in order to find them. For if you look for the wrong things you will find those instead. Do you judge others by the questions they ask as much as by the answers they give? Judge yourself this way too. What does it profit a man to have the right answers to the wrong questions?

Are you familiar with the idea of sleepwalking? Have you ever done it? Is it possible that you have been sleepwalking while you are awake? For it is possible to go through life lacking awareness, and seeing only enough to avoid running into obstacles. You can be aware enough to do your job without being aware of the larger spiritual realm in which you live. This is also referred to as going through the motions. I promised you an abundant life. Are you living it? Are you sufficiently awake and aware enough to know whether you are or not? He who has eyes to see, let him see. Wake up!

Do you make a strong distinction between theology and psychology? These are treated as entirely different academic disciplines, and typically not even taught at the same schools. But there are some passages in the Bible that blur this distinction. How can you love God whom you cannot see if you cannot love your brother whom you can see? He who says he loves God should demonstrate this by loving his brother. You will be known as my disciples by the love you have for one another. In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me.
