My one purpose

My one purpose April 15, 2008

Or is it 10,000?

I often think about my purpose here on earth. I’ve always assumed there was one BIG purpose, one overriding reason I was put on the planet by God. Lately I’ve been having different thoughts about this issue.

Do I have one big purpose to fulfill or thousands of little ones?
Maybe I’m supposed to do God’s work by doing something small each day. Assuming I have 30 good years left that would mean I have more than 10,000 opportunitiese.

And to think, if you could do something meaningful for God 10,000 times, then imagine the impact you could have for His Kingdom.

Red Letter Believers are drawn to the simple wonder of an every day life of taking up his cross and following Him in obedience.

Instead of moping in an endless search for the big bang of my life on planet earth, I should instead catch those timeless opportunities every day, and make the most of them.

Please, share with a friend if you feel moved.
