TARGET

There was a skit, to be held in my nephew's school so, he told his dad, that he need to have a gun for the skit. So, we bought a big toy gun and with that we, also got a small toy gun free. It was a shooting play gun so, we got few pellets also with it, and a target card. We, fixed the target board at a distance for the children to shoot . My niece, was so excited to play with the shooting gun that without aiming the target she, just did shooting. I explained her, dear whenever you are shooting or doing a particular job you should, always have a target in front, or a goal before you. Once, a target is set up you will know for yourself, whether you did a good shot or not, you will come to know, where you stand; and how much more practice to be done so as to achieve your target or goal. Always strive to hit the bull's eye. She understood the matter and started to aim and shoot the target.

In our surrounding, we come to encounter such persons, who don't have a aim or a goal in front of them. Even, in scriptures we can see that we should aim or set up a goal to please God. 2 Corinthians 5:9 NIV "So we make it a goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it". Aim for perfection, Aim to be higher and higher. Be the best for God. Be perfect for  God. If, you become successful and hit the, target of pleasing God you will get a reward in heaven. Our focus, should be on God and ways to please him. If your goal, or your aim or rather your focus is sharp then, no problems on its way can come near you as you can easily tackle all of them. Do not fix your attention to the problem, fix your attention on God who  is the supreme head. As it's even written in 2 Corinthians 4: 18 NIV " So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. " 
Once, you have a target in life to please God and to fix your eyes on Him, you can overcome all difficult situations coming on your way. Remember always to have an aim, a target fix your eyes on that target on no Jesus and run the race or the game set before you.
