My Life , My Purpose : Laws of Life

The word purpose is a very dynamic concept used to describe an individual's destiny or lifetime goal. Some individuals know their purpose in life and some spend a lifetime trying to find or fulfill that purpose . However, my ultimate mission in life is to lead people to my lord and savior Jesus Christ by using my musical gift of singing and through my ethical lifestyle choices . I have recently discovered my purpose, my mission , and my lifetime responsibility . To ascertain that purpose, I used similar tactics that Sir John Templeton outlined in his book, The Essential Worldwide Laws of Life . I diagrammed a web on a sheet of paper displaying my gifts, interests, and past memories altogether . All of these collaborated aspects of my life led me to the conclusion that my goal is to lead people closer to Jesus Christ. I plan on accomplishing this goal by living according to the word of God . I am a pastors daughter and my purpose relates to my lifestyle evangelism because others will observe how I live and how God miraculously moves in my life . I also plan on bringing people to Christ through encouraging and uplifting people by using my musical singing ability . God has helped me through some challenging times . Now I can hopefully express this through my music lyrics and show others that God can do the same for them. . The principles that have always guided me have been the words of my parents . They always told me, “ People are going to observe your life to see if it represents Christ. Others that do not know him will pay attention on to how you live.” I always kept this in mind in handling my day to day issues and situations . These words of wisdom always touched me because it helped me realize that if I don’t live like I should then I will give off a negative connotation of who God is and what he

    Our destiny is to live forever with God in heaven, and that we all have a real purpose in life. As humans, we are not all-knowing, so we need help to find our true purpose in life. There is no real purpose for my life is a heresy that Kreeft works against. We exist because of God, and we are real because God is real that gives each of us an intrinsic dignity. A portion of our existence is to love God and our neighbors. Our meaning of life is to be Saint, and perform good works on earth for the Kingdom of God. We must know God and ourselves to first know why we exist. Everyone has a special gift that they are meant to use in life. We must recognize this gift, and use it correctly. I believe this is true since God gave us free will, and that we were created in God’s own image, but we are all different. We must know God and ourselves to know what we are meant to do. What we are good at, has something to do with why we…

    But free will gets in the way and choices are made that are not in his plan, so my purpose was not clear to me. I didn't have a goal. Amazingly, God gives us a second chance (or 2 or 20) and in our obedience He shows us what is best for us, what He wants for us. It was in this season of my life, in obedience to Him, that He revealed His purpose to me. He gave me a goal. I was at my women's bible sturdy and talking about God's plans for each of us, when my friend said that she was being called to go back to school and become a Christian Counselor for teens. She explained how her involvement in the lives of the teens at our church had greatly impacted her and the decision to go back to college and "make it official". Many months before this moment, I had been praying that He would reveal His plan for me. I had been looking for a lightning bolt, but He whispered to me, "this is what I have for you." I'm not involved with the teens as my friend is, I knew that wasn't specifically for me. But a Christian counselor, Yes, this was it! I had spent the last few months walking through a tough time with my sister, sharing tears, ideas and counsel. I had become a leader in the women's ministry at my church and grown…

    The Question of Meaning/Purpose- We as Christians believe that our purpose is to do the will of God. John 15:16(ESV Bible) we are appointed to go and bear fruit. In Matthew 28:19(ESV Bible) we are commanded to go and make disciples. Through-out the Bible, God has charged us with being the salt of the earth and light of the world, He has commanded us to go and compel them to come so that his house may be filled. As we can see our main purpose is to live a life that exemplifies Christ and leads others to Him.…

    “My command is this; love each other as I have loved you” John 15:12. The quote above is stating that we are here to love each other. I take that to the next extent. I see it as a statement of love all things. I believe everyone has a purpose for being here today. We all have that passion or iinterest or quirky inspiration that gets us going every day. The goal that gets us out of bed 2 hours after we went to sleep to repeat the same old school or work day. The thing that we hope someone will ask about so you can just tell them your elaborate plan. So they can see the glow in your eyes when you speak about it. That for me is to become a veterinarian.…
