Today’s Purpose

Letters 1 Minute

Letter 4430

I set out on a great journey to the summit of the mountain under which we live. It will take days to go and return.

But today the journey begins.

❖

What, then, is my purpose on this day?

To start something?
To do what I said?
To avoid others?

Let me discern and live a worthy purpose, Lord.

Consider:

Can I discern my purpose for today?
