What should be my purpose in Earth?
This is how a wise man ask himself.
As we all know, God's way is not that easy. Most of the time we have to obey and sacrifice in order to please and glorify Him. The only problem is that we are always in doubt. We never listens. We always follow our thinking. We never let him guide our life to the right path. WE CANNOT SEE THAT ALL OF THE THINGS HE ASK IS FOR OUR OWN GOOD. We never really realized that "we were born by his purpose and for His purpose". You have to remember that the purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. Haven't you know that the Bible says, "Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life."
God is not just the starting point of your life; he is the source of it.
To discover your purpose in life you must turn to God's Word, NOT the world's wisdom.
Last week, I started this journey with this book. Actually at first I'm really afraid, well I don't know how to say this but way back then, I always seen this book as a threat for my happiness. I know I am afraid to read this book but I just don't know why? Maybe I was afraid that it can wake my conscience up. That I will never feel as free as I wanted it to be. I was always seen as a happy-go-lucky, jet-setter, wild, and unbecoming person. My attitude towards life is really different. I like money, fashion, fame and party. It's really hard to give-up what I used to do. I worship all worldly wealth and trying my best to be happy. But 1 thing is for sure. I NEVER REALLY FELT HAPPY. It's like tonight I will drink and have some party with friends that will give me ecstatic happiness then tomorrow, I will feel surprisingly sad and extremely empty. Just the same as I buy all the things that I want but don't actually need but because I think it's pretty. But after that I will just stare and ask myself why did I purchased it and then to realized it's because I AM NOT REALLY SATISFIED at all. I sometimes feel that I am disgusted with my life. Like, I'm going round and round until I feel that I am completely fed up with it. This feeling gets worse and worse everyday, every minute and every second. Until the day I realized there is far more than this. Until out of nowhere I came across to read this book. To completely do a turn around and walk again with God.
You just have to TRUST AND HAVE FAITH on Him.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16
"Give yourself to God...
Surrender your whole being to Him
To be used for righteous purposes"
-Romans 6:13
and the PEACEFULNESS that you need inside will be achieved.
