Your Life Purpose

I keep hearing people like David Neagle and Alexandria Brown say that we are God. As a Christian, I know that I, per se, am not God. I did not create myself. I do understand this philosophy however. I am again reading Wallace Wattles' book, The Science of Getting Rich, where he describes everything being composed of "thinking substance." This is so true in that all that is, has been, or ever will be was first created in the mind of God, including us. In Genesis, we read that we were created in God's own image. This gives truth to the idea that we contain God's essence and are therefore God. So that brings me to the question my 3 year-old grandson asks multiple times a day, "Why?" What is the purpose for my life?

It's obvious God has a grand purpose for each of us or he would not have taken the time to make us unlike any other person he ever created. As humans, we often have limiting beliefs about ourselves. This kind of thinking diminishes our unique greatness. Would we dare to belittle other creatures? Of course not. So if God thought me important enough to invest his "thinking substance" in, I must have a unique and special purpose for being here at this time. And so do you.

These thoughts about my purpose surface every time I decide to set new goals. I recently read that rather than focus on "this" to get "that," why not simply focus on "that" in the first place. So I took this very step in setting goals. My ultimate goal, my number one "why", is to leave a legacy that glorifies my creator. At the end of my journey in this body, I want God to truly say that I did what He planned and made Him proud. So now I must back up and set intermediate goals that all lead toward that end. Quite simply, what must I do today that will glorify my creator? After all, the way I spend my days is the way I spend my life.

I invite you to think about this as well. Think about your talents - the things you enjoy and are good at. They are clues to your purpose. Now devise a plan for using those gifts every day to expand your mind, enlarge your sphere of influence, and make a positive difference to everyone you meet in some way. Your life purpose isn't something that will happen one day, it's unfolding before you this very minute. I applaud you for being worthy of reflecting the image of your creator.

To Your Abundance,
