The Source of Life

A teenager accidentally had tumbled off her bike and fell under a passing tram. In an instant, her leg was severed below the knee. The bloody, broken limb lay beside her, no longer connected to its source of life.
Christian Growth Study Bible, pg. 1244

We live in a busy world. Tightened with all appointments and events. We wake up in the morning, give grace for the breakfast, and emerge in the crowd. Back home, rest and get a sweet sleep. The next day begins, with the same activities, same duties, same responsibilities, same feeling. We exist but do we live? Fully live...

Have you ever felt that you are actually a dead man walking doing the same activities and duties? And at some points, you stop and ask, "why do I do this? Oh, it's because that's what I normally do. This is my life." And you go back to that dead-man-walking mode.

At one point, you finally get the feeling to break all the boredom. You wanna chase after the freshness and sweetness of life. You pack all the things, ready to break out. But there is something missing. The gist. The fuel. The source of your life. What is it?

I know I'm not the one who feel this. There are billions of millions of people who feel the same. When I feel this, I know where to go. I go back to my source of life, to connect my life to Him. Because I know I can't stand away from Him too long, otherwise I'll die. He is my source of life. He is the Ruler of the heaven and earth. He is my God. What about you?
