My Purpose

My purpose here on earth is not for my own pleasure or man’s, but it is for God’s pleasure. Life is not about you or me, but about God. It is not God’s responsibility to make me happy or provide all that I want and desire. But He will and He does. It is my purpose in life to make God happy and fulfill His desires. Which I fail at far more than do. His desires are for me to love and worship Him and love my neighbor. To care for the hurting and care for the needy. To see something other than my own little plans or wants. To see a plan greater than my own is what He has. When I see all and help all as if it were my very own life, then I begin, yes just begin, to fulfill what God’s plan is for my life. When I can develop my attitude, my way of thinking to align with God’s attitude then I am one step closer to His plan. When I grow up and become the person of God that He desires me to be, then is when I will be the happiest and most fulfilled. Through all my misery, my hurts and my pain, and troubles even then shall I rejoice in His peace and love. Because of His love, which flows so deep, His peace, His joy I need not dwell in my problems as I do. But be a victor in all areas of my life .... everything that I set my hands and feet on. For when I am weak then He makes me strong. All that I have, all that I am, all that I long to be is because of my Lord and what He means to me. He is my reason for being, He gives me .... my very life’s breath. I desire to be the reflection of Him and His love to the world.
