Plant a Seed

A life without a purpose is barren indeed...
Because there can't be a harvest unless you plant a seed.

There will never be attainment unless there is a goal...
And man is just a robot unless he has a soul.

If you send no ship out, then no ship will come in...
And unless there is a contest, nobody can win.

A game cannot be won unless it is played...
And prayers can't be answered unless they are prayed.

So if you have a struggle in your life today...
Knell down and don't be afraid to pray.

Pray not for pleasure, enjoyment or health...
Not just for honors, prestige or wealth.

Pray for a purpose to make life worth living...
And pray for the joy of unselfish giving.

For great will be your gladness and rich your reward...
When you make your life's purpose the choice of the Lord.
