Living by purpose isn't judged or accredited by the record of success we have achieved but by how far we aligned ourselves with God's will for us on earth.
Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren is an e-book sent to me by a friend on a fateful day. At first I thought it was a book of few pages that I could finish up with in a matter of days but opening the e-book and scanning through the first page, I realize it's a spiritual book which emphasizes on one's existence and purpose, which needs not to be rushed and read for just reading sake but to read, understand and have a life reflection.
I just started reading but with the few I have been able to read, I understand the fact that our existence is not by accident but a part of God's plan.
We are not here in the world just because our parents met, mate and conceived us but because God has a plan for us to fulfil when we get here on earth.
No birth is by mistake, either by timing, birthplace or parental background but it is God's plan as no birth is accidental in the sight of God.
Our life purpose fulfillment is not based on our personal achievements of how much we have in our bank accounts, the number of houses we have bought or built or the mortgage loans we have been able to pay up or the number of cars we use and so on but it's about what we have been destined to do on earth which we are not departing from.
Everyone is uniquely created for their unique purposes just like we may have a very identical twins but still with different thumbprints. This means we may still have the same purpose that will still require different processes and results.
Some are given the purpose of helping the widows, some to the less privileged or orphans and until they tread on that path, they are not fulfilling the purpose they are created for. Some may even be to just pass on the knowledge they have to other people through any means they deem fit.
Another point I took note of is that whatever purpose we are created for to fulfil, our starting point can only be God and not just focusing on our personal goals. We can find our paths by turning to God's words, and aligning ourselves with God's plans and purposes for our lives.
I'll be dropping my pen here on the weekend experiences community prompt on the book I am reading for the weekend.
Thanks for reading through 馃
