WHAT'S MY PURPOSE IN LIFE?

The Apostle Paul explains it very simply in the Bible, to the people in Ephesus.

"For we are His workmanship, created in Jesus Christ for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them".  Ephesians 2:10

Many of us wonder why God doesn't answer our prayers.  Most likely we're praying wrong, asking God to hear our petitions and perform what we want, like He's Santa Clause.  Instead we should be asking Him, what our purpose is for each day and to give us His instructions to follow.

This is what Jesus meant when He said to pray to the Father:

"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done...give us this day our Daily bread...for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, forever". Matt. 9:13

And yes it's a sin to waste our lives on ourselves or things we deem important.  And even to decide to destroy ourselves or others God has made for His purpose, which we often do when we believe ourselves to be superior to God.

It's time to use our short lifespans on earth, for our godly purpose and accomplish our true destinies.  How you say?  Ask your Father in Heaven and He will answer, in His Son Yeshua's name.

May you find life's richest blessings, when you practice the Art of Hearing God through the power of the Holy Spirit, then it becomes more clear to follow the Good Shepherd!
