People at USC are mostly not Christian. Some report themselves as Christian, but it’s a mask easily seen through. Most people don’t really know why they’re here, they don’t really know what their life is supposed to be about. They’re here for money, or for thanking their parents, or another temporary goal, but it’s pretty clear they’re lost. It breaks my heart. I’ve been praying for them, I’ve reached out to them. I got the majority of my suite to go to Bible Study with me at InterVarsity. It was pretty sweet. But it’s obvious that people are here without really reflecting on the meaning of why they’re in college.
Which brings up in the question: Why am I in college?
The motivation to do anything always brings it back down to the meaning of life: Why do I do anything?
And so I have to constantly remind myself why I’m in college.
I’m here for the glory of God. And only that. Not to make money or to thank my mom for bringing me here. I’m here because God wants me to be here: to help me grow, to glorify Him, to proclaim His good news.
Sometimes I doubt myself and say hey, I could do all these things somewhere else and a lot easier for sure. But then I realize that it’s all a lie.
What does that mean?
It means I want to proclaim the good news to the poor, proclaim freedom to the oppressed, set free those are prisoners. I want to proclaim a year of the Lord’s Favor. (Luke 4)
I want to see a year where I proclaim God’s glory and tell the world that this is when God’s love abounds limitlessly.
