Purpose

It amazes me how many times a human being, like myself for example, struggles with the idea of purpose. Sometimes, we wonder what our purpose in life is, and other times (usually most of the time) we wonder if we have what it takes to accomplish it... The truth is, I don't believe that there's just one thing I'm supposed to do. I have to believe and dream that my everyday purpose in life is being fulfilled daily. If we are to grow deeper as intelligent beings, then we must realize this: though standing around and calling out heavenward begging for answers can be helpful in recognizing the sovereignty of God in our lives, we cannot hinge our energy on the idea that there's simply this "one thing" that we have to do in life, and if we miss the mark, then we have failed. Feeling purposeful isn't always pleasant. Sometimes it stings and even scars. But the beauty is, no matter what chips are knocked off of our fragile emotions, that we have the ability to know in fact that our lives were truly lived and not simply wasted.
