A Key for your Life
December 10th 2006 10:25
I’ve been writing recently about purpose. We Christians believe there is purpose written all over everything on this earth, and there is purpose for our lives. (You can’t really believe it all came into being for no reason!)
When are the best times in your life? Is it when you are celebrating some achievement? Then you are celebrating the fact that you are a purposeful being, made to prosper. What can you think of right now that represents something you have achieved? Everybody has something. Even if you feel vastly unsuccessful over all, there have been, from time to time, little success experiences you can enumerate..
One of the keys to purpose that we have found is to consider what makes you angry. For Dr. Martin Luther King it was discrimination, and his life purpose was dealing with that. For Hitler it was not being top dog – but that was entirely selfish! Real life purpose doesn’t have a self-centred goalpost. It’s got to be about service to others.
For me it has to do with Truth and lies. I love to expose lies for what they are and replace them with truth, because the truth sets us free to be real! This came from a prayer ministry where lies (that have been believed and have debilitated a personality in consequence) have been exposed by asking Jesus. He gives the Truth in place of the lies and the personality is healed in a big way!
How many people have sat on secrets, being told, when being abused, that they must not tell anyone because the disastrous results will be their fault? What lies! There is nothing that cannot be assisted with the right conversations.
What injustice makes you angry? (I’m sure justice is a strong player in life’s purpose). People are into animal liberation, greening the country, child protection, many, many things. I’m suggesting that your reasonable anger may reveal a task or purpose for your life. Not only that, but your talent in that area is also revealed! What if you could make strides in dealing with that situation? How many people could you help? What would you feel if you could make a difference?
