The Purpose of Life


He said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD." (Job 1:21)

Have we ever truthfully asked ourselves what is the purpose of our presence? I believe many of us do not even bother with this question. We have too many worldly issues that we need to tackle and asking a hypothetical question is out of reach. This question has been purposely crafted for us to live our life.

Our existence is because of his grace. We are given by God. Our presence is beautiful because we are his offspring.

“Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7)

It is his grace that we present. Our purpose of life is to glorify him. We are unique to God. He has special purpose for each of us. Sometimes, we are born with defects; we are born in poor; we are porn in weak. The Imperfections of our life is to glorify the perfection of God. Look at everyone around us, no one is perfect. Look again at our life journey, don’t you think our path is full of miracles. It is God who has given us everything and we should be thankful.

We feel despairs, upset when we lose something. If you understand that it is from God and given by him, then you will know it is alright if God has taken it away. When God takes it away, he may want us to learn a lesson, go through a test, equip us or mould us. Remember, he loves us and he will not let us suffer without purpose. He knows how much we can take and he will not let us suffer more than what we can bear. When we are desperate, you know he will save us.

When was the last time you spoke to your parents? When was the last time you had a quiet personal moment with God? Knowing him and understanding him, then you will know your life journey is not alone. Things are actually rosier than you think. He loves us, and he wants his children be blessed and joyous to bear his testimony in life. Have you found your purpose of life now?

“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me; you will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me.” (Psalm 138:7)
