Iron and green bean soup

The Sunday before, the sermon was given by one of the 'handsome' pastor. He has experienced in mission and different aspects of serving, most importantly, he is still single..! :P
The sermon started with a sharing in a cross-culture gathering which people from different nations are grouped in team on a boat for preparing works of their own culture. Ended up the Singapore team finished late and felt hungry in the middle of the night. What they found is a pot of cold green bean soup with no facilities to heat it up..
There is an iron which they used to for ironing cloths. Idea came from a team member using it to heat up the green bean soup so that they can have a warm supper....
The idea was, iron wasn't the best thing to heat food up. It has its own purposes..
Same as our life, we have our own purpose to live, what we are doing now might not be efficient enough to show up our purpose of life, indeed may be in a wrong purpose at all....
Christians, have purpose of life for spreading the gospel and glorify God, if we are not doing it, we are not living in our own purpose. That is his teaching that Sunday..
I thought of what myself doing, as a professional but not really 'in-to' it... Am I living in the right purpose...?!
Show us thy way, Lord...!
