The Path to Purpose Discovery#1


Purpose, a word every adult on Earth has come across. “What on Earth am I here for?” A question everyone has asked, directly or indirectly. The truth is that every man wants to know that they are of worth, that they are needed and contribute to life. This is why man, consciously or unconsciously hungers to know how best he can contribute here on Earth.

The truth once again is that every man is of worth, is needed and has something to contribute on Earth. Every man was created for something, to do something and it is solely the responsibility of every man to find out why they exist.

Take for instance, Toyota produces cars to solve the problem of transportation, Samsung produces phones to solve the issue of communication. Seeing a phone or a car for the first time, it’s natural to ask its use and who would be the best person to answer such a question? THE PRODUCERS! In the same way, the best person to answer the question of our use on Earth is our manufacturer and who is that? It’s God! God made me and He is therefore the best person to answer the question of why I am here on Earth?

Based on my experience, you will never find out your purpose by just looking within, checking out your strengths, your talents or things you’re good at. Your maker is the only one that can help you with that question. THE ONLY ONE!

Not only is He the only one that can answer that question perfectly, but guess what??? He’s 100percent willing to do just that. Just ask and press on! He will certainly tell you your purpose.

Find out your worth. Find out why you’re on Earth, what you’re here to do. Find God!

PRAYER: God, my maker, my creator, my Father. I acknowledge you as God of all, creator of all things. All things were created by you and for you for a reason. I was created by you and for you for a reason. I ask oh God that you open my eyes to what you have brought me here for, that you guide and show me what it is you want me to do on Earth. This i ask Oh God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.

How Much Does Jesus Love You?

Image
We are humans and we know that we are limited in our abilities so we make provisions for such. We can call it the ‘human factor’ or ‘human error’ or whatever we want to call it. When it comes to the subject of love, we tend to also limit ourselves and also place people in our lives on different scales. One will hear questions such as ‘How much do you love me?’ or ‘If you love me then prove it!’ or ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ or ‘I’m sorry. Please don’t leave me.’ I had this mentality too. I could go the extra mile for only a very few set of people who I felt were worth it. I didn't believe that a girl like me could ever be truly and fully loved. This isn't an easy thing to carry along with you into Christianity where you’re told and you read it in your Bible and you’re expected to believe in an all-loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you… in a God who will always show up and will always forgive no matter what… in an everyday kind of lov...

While We're Waiting

James 5:7-8  “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.  You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”     Time after time, school goes on a really long break and I have to travel back home. I end up staying at for months and I'm always complaining of the same old thing that plagues most of us: BOREDOM!       I have nothing to do for fun, hardly any friends around and there's always a chore to do which all bores me to tears.      However, someone said something in a Church Class that caught my attention. He said "We're bored because we don't want to think and work. We can't complain of boredom when we're busy".
