Not For This Life Only

WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE?
The purpose of a painting is to convey the beauty, or meaning in the artist's mind. The purpose of a cabinet is to serve the useful function it's maker intended. The purpose of a space exploration is to complete the mission it's scientists sought for. In every case the Purpose is determined by the original designer. The same is true for every human being. We are the most complex of all systems. Our purpose is determined by Almighty God our creator. Every person takes a different path in life, but their purpose is guided by the loving, redeeming hand of our Creator. He has revealed Himself to us in Jesus Christ. He works in many and various situations throughout our years to mature us in the self-giving love of Jesus. Even to fulfilling His words to love an enemy and go a second mile with one who has compelled us to go the first mile. It is this kind of sacrificial love that changes hearts bringing an enduring peace and joy for this life and into all eternity.
