PURPOSE

Sometimes, when I sit down, I give my mind freedom to take a stroll. Take a stroll on any highways of it's choice. Now, sometimes I give my mind strict instructions on the highway it has to take, particularly when that highway has got so many black spots, to avoid a potential catastrophe, and sometimes I trust it to walk down some lanes unaccompanied. Some lanes that are self governing with speed bumps, traffic lights and traffic officers.

On this particular night, my mind is accompanied. The choice of highways is safe to move on. It's the highway of my life. As the mind takes a stroll, I ask myself questions.

Whats my purpose in life? Why was I created? Was it by coincidence or design? Am I living my life or am I leaving my life?

Was my purpose to be a successful researcher? Was my purpose to have a beautiful wife and kids? Was my purpose to have good eduction? What was my purpose in life?

Looking around me, some situations are splendid just like some are sorry. Some circumstances are radiant just like some are pathetic. Some people are happy just like others are sad.

When we have floods, I may not be the champion to rescue the flood victims.
When we have hunger, I may not have bread to feed the masses
When we have war, I may not have shelter for the refugees


But I believe there are things I can do

With my mind, I will not think evil of my neighbor
With my hands, I will pick one person up, who has fallen and dust him off,
With my ears, I will listen to he who wants me listen
My legs will carry me to my neighbor with a distress call
WITH MY TONGUE, I WILL TESTIFY OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD!

May my hands exalt thee oh Lord
May the words of my tongue be a living testimony
May my Legs run towards thee Lord
May my mind think more of you and less of this world
May my heart love you and only you.

Mathew 25:40 And the King will say,"I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to Me" (NLT)

My purpose is to make Your name glorious!!
