Personal Vision

I am not the most active when it comes to church, but I have been trying my best to attend church the last couple of weeks. The church that I attend is one of the largest in the country and has several well-known leaders of Korea. That being said, recently the church has been going through some sad events as the leading pastor, and a great Christian leader for all of Korea, passed away. His name is Pastor Ha Yong Jo. His death has been on the National News and even President attended his funeral. The death has made me wonder about the value of life and my personal vision.

Pastor Ha Yong Jo has been known to help churches at a time when Christianity was not so popular in Korea. He's one of the oldest pastors in the game and is known around churches all over Korea. His death has been rather impactful and many people grieved for the loss. When I watched the clips and watched his past sermons, it made me realize just how hard this person lived.

It really made me wonder, what am I doing now that will make an impact? Can I live as this person did? While it may be a long-shot, I think it is a goal worth going after. Life, as quoted from a movie, is simple, you make choices and don't look back on it. What choices am I making to make an impact on the world?

Attending yesterday's church service made me also think about my vision. One topic Pastor Ha was passionate about was vision. The vision of the church, the vision of God. These are very important in leading a Christian life. What kind of vision do I have?

Hopefully when I look back on my life years from now I will see that I have accomplished most of what I have visioned. Hopefully I will look back and see that I have made at least a fraction of the impact Pastor Ha has made.
