Missing Target!

An archer when shooting his arrows will set his focus on the target. He cannot just put his focus anywhere, because his goal is to hit the target. However, although he has set his focus on the target, he can still miss it. No matter how good he is, there is still a possibility for him to miss the target.

Same with our life, we are meant to have targets in our life (good ones, of course). In our works, relationship, ministry, for examples. We set our focus on our targets, we will work hard towards them. However, this world we are living in is not perfect, the people we are dealing with are not perfect, we.. ourselves, are not even perfect. We can still miss the targets, no matter how hard we work for it.

So, does that means that we don't have to set our targets and work towards them? Does that means that rather than getting disappointed, it would be better for us to have no expectations at all?

NO, definitely NO. Just like the archer, if he wants to hit the target, he must always set his focus on it when he shoots. There is always a possibility of missing the target but that's okay. But don't lose heart. "There is more to life than just here and now. We are made to last forever." Rick Warren (Purpose of Driven Life). If we have received our saviour, we have hope of a life after this life, spent with our saviour forever. I bet that life would be perfect!
