I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine. We argued back and fourth about dream jobs and if they exist. And I realised that when it comes down to it, it isn't about whether you love your job or not, because eventually you may come to hate it. It has to have a perpose.
He gave me a challenge. He said that if I were to draw something every day and burn it at the end of the day I would begin to feel an emptyness that comes with purposelessness (new word! Calling webster right now lol). But then I told him, "I always have a purpose."
He didn't understand that. And its hard to explain in a face to face conversation. The thing is, if I do everything to please god how do I not have a purpose! My life always has meaning because I have a god who loves me, a savior who saved me, and a holy spirit that guides me.
I don't create things to make money, or get admiration. If I were to do that it would lose meaning as soon as the money stopped comeing, or as soon as people stopped seeing my work.
But if I'm doing it to give glory to god. If I'm doing it to praise him. That picture I drew becomes in itself, a proclamation to the world. Saying, "God is the reason why I have hands to create with. God is the reason I even drew this picture. So I would gladly burn it. If that's what god wanted me to do!"
And that's how it will be with my games. They will have a purpose. And that is to bring glory to god!
