analogy

in youth group, we are watching a video series called the Gospel Journey, and tonight something really stuck out to me. The topic was purpose in life, and one of the leaders (on the video) said that he had a skateboard analogy. he said that one time he left his skateboard outside and when he went to get it, there was a kid sitting on it (board upside down) and spinning the wheels. The little boy was having a blast spinning the wheels. Then Zane (the leader) said that he went over to the kid and asked him if he wanted learn how to use a skateboard how its supposed to be used. so Zane taught the kid how to ride it, and the kid had even more fun than just spinning the wheels. how does his relate to a persons purpose in life? well we can have a lot of fun spinning the wheels of our lives, partying and living life how we want to. BUT that is not the real purpose of our life, God has called us to even bigger and better things. So while it may be fun just spinning the wheels, our purpose is so much greater than that!

it really made me think so i thought i would share it.
