Purpose
Job 33:4
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Isaiah 38:18
For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Psalm 17:14
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
Exodus 18:15
Moses answered him, "Because the people come to me to seek God's will.
Deuteronomy 4:29
But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you look for Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
~ REASON FOR BEING ~
Why are we here at this time in history ? Is there a reason ? Why are we here at all ? Of ourselves there is no answer, but there is provision for finding the answer. Look to the source. If there is a creation, is there not a creator who created it ? Feel the very air you breath. Was it not created for you, for this moment ? Seek Him and you shall find the one who gave you your very life. Give Him thanks, lending your hands to Him here on earth. Do good for others with your life, by leading them also to seek God's will in their lives. Then you will know why now, why at all. You will begin a walk with purpose in your steps. You will find God's propitiation for our lost ways, and through Jesus, His great love for us. You will find your purpose through Him.

Dad you post here touches upon a lot of the questions I have for God about life, and why we are here, and what is the point of earth. I seek always to find these answers, and are stuck at looking for them through nature and the beauty God has painted there, the preciousness and grace He put in the animals around me. I come close to thinking I know, but never fully. Thanks for all your inspiring thoughts and messages! I love you!
