What is my Purpose?


In my last blog, I shared with you about Nature and Worship and how nature reflects God. In that blog I briefly talked about how we were created to worship. In this blog, I will be diving deeper into our purpose.
What is my purpose?
This is a question many people ask themselves at least once in their lifetime. Many of those people try to answer this question the wrong way and find themselves believing something that isn’t really the truth. A good place to look for truth in any situation is the Bible. We find many answers to this question through the life of Jesus.
Of course, you have your job. Is that my purpose? Not quite. God put you in your job for a reason, but you still have a bigger purpose. Actually, you have many purposes:
1.       To Worship God
2.       To Serve
3.       To Share the Gospel
If you have read my last blog, you know that you were created to worship God. Your second purpose is to serve. Who? Others. Look at the life of Jesus. He washed the disciples’ feet. He is the King of Kings and yet he washed others’ feet. Before we go any further, this is a fact that you might want to write down in your brain. Jesus came to be the example. So, this doesn’t mean you have to go around and ask people if you can wash their feet. You need to go around and help others. Helping someone is a small task for us, but can make a huge difference. Serving others is something we have to train ourselves to do. Our human minds think that others should help us, when really, we should be helping others.
Your third purpose is to share the Gospel. First of all, what in the world is the Gospel? It’s the good news that Jesus came to earth as a human, died a horrible death, and came alive once again! It sounds easy, but it can take a lot of courage. What do I do if I know nothing about the Gospel and I’m learning? Well, really everyone is still learning! No one will ever know everything there is to know about God. But if you aren’t comfortable telling someone about the Gospel yourself, invite that person to church!
I hope this post has encouraged you, and helped you understand more about your purpose.

COVID-19

I haven’t posted in a while, but what better time to post than in this time that everyone is calling a crisis. It feels like there is no peace anywhere to be found. Everyone keeps saying that God is in control and that everything will be okay. But the number of COVID-19 cases seems to be rising constantly. Every time there is a new reported case, all kinds of fearful thoughts come into our minds. Will I get sick? Should I go to the store? What about my family? Are they safe? But Martin Luther King had a great quote that I want to share with you. “You cannot keep birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair.” –Martin Luther King                 The birds are your thoughts. The enemy uses your thoughts to make you start believing things that aren’t really true. You can’t keep thoughts from flying over your head, but you can choose what thoughts you want to dwel...

Sin

I’ve talked a lot about sin in the past. Sin is one of those unavoidable topics when you’re talking about Christ and the Gospel. Sin was the main reason Jesus came and died on the cross. Because of sin, we were separated from God. But, as I have discussed before, when Jesus rose from the dead, that meant we will rise again in Heaven with Him if we repent and accept Christ as our Savior (1 Corinthians 6:14). But that isn’t the end of the story. That’s why the Holy Spirit led me to write a post about sin.                 Almost everyone knows the story of Adam and Eve. If you are unfamiliar, you might want to check back at my “Repent” post, or read Genesis 2-3. That is where sin on earth started. It’s the background info on sin. Before I go any further, I want to make sure everyone knows what sin is. Sin is anything that separates us from God. (The Ten Commandments has a few examples of sin.) Now that everyo...

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog! Here you'll find encouragement to share the Gospel with others, as well as posts to deepen your love for Christ. Grace Inspirations started with letters. I would send "sermons" through letters to my neighbors. God put it on my heart through some very special people to start a blog. And here we are! My posts come from many different places. Sometimes they will be based off of things I've seen or heard. Or maybe something I've come to realize. They can come from one of my old notebooks, or maybe even some of those letters I sent to my neighbors! I try to post as often as I can. As I am a student, I have a busy life. But it's not really on my time-table. It's when God shows me something I need to write. I am always glad to share what God shows me with you! I am learning right along with you! Whether you have been a believer for years or you have never heard the Gospel, this blog is for you! I write to everyone and I enjoy e...
