We are all called for a purpose

Humans are not just meant to exist but to live. By living, it means that we are meant to affect other people and make an impact in this world. Now, I believe that some people's impact is not as big as other people's impact. Let's say, the impact of a pebble thrown away carelessly into the pond only results to one drop. On the other hand, strategically throwing the pebble into the water can cause a ripple effect which is totally different from a one drop. But no matter how big or small our impact may be, the important thing is we tried to give our life a good fight.

We are all called for a purpose. We are not here by accident. I do not believe that some matter in the universe exploded and resulted to the existence of human life. We are made more than that. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We have a destiny and our mission is to know our purpose.

I'm sure, you have this question in mind: "How will I know my purpose?"
I've thought of this question also, don't worry. For more than 2 years that I've been walking with God, I realized that our purpose cannot be revealed to us easily. For some, maybe they were revealed right away, but for most, we have to seek it. How do we seek it? By going to the One who has created us, to the One who holds our destiny and to the One who has written and planned our life -- Lord, Jesus Christ. We seek Him first before anything else. We make an effort to get to know Him by reading His Word (The Bible). I've never received as much Good News as what The Bible contains. If we are just patient and eager to know God's Word, we can be saved from a lot of heartaches. 

I am grateful that as I continue to seek God and as He continues to reveal Himself to me, I slowly discover the purpose of my life. Sometimes God will ask us to walk outside the boat and to trust that He will enable us to walk into the water. Do not be afraid! He will not ask us to walk in the water without Him going into it first. He has tested the deepness of the water before He lets us walk into it. He will not let us drown. He never fails.

Job 23:10-12 (NIV)

10 But he knows the way that I take;

when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

11 My feet have closely followed his steps;

I have kept to his way without turning aside.

12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;

I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
