Good morning.
"Why am I here? And why does this question arise from such a deep place? If there is no God, then we have no purpose, other than survival, and whatever else we decide we want to do with our lives. But if a Creator made us, then we had best find out what was in His mind when we came to be." (Terran Williams)
In Genesis 1 we are told God created us all for a purpose. But what precisely is that purpose?
The creation story shows that we are the Pinnacle of His creation. God's plan is that we become His co-workers. (2 Corinthians 6:1) We are to reflect His wisdom, goodness and truth to those around us.
While "the earth is the Lord ’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." (Psalm 24:1), we are to steward all He has entrusted to us, providing for our needs as well as those of the world.
Though God creates from nothing, we create from what God has made. We delight in what God has made. God blesses us to be a blessing to others. That's part of our collective purpose.
Each of us has a God-ordained purpose, which explains our yearning to discover the God who made us.
Let's go and be the blessing God has blessed us for.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
