Purpose

I was flipping through some of my ex-church's bulletin in my mum's room and got to read the summary points of the previous week's sermon. What I read sat very comfortably with my heart. There was this strange sense of familiarity. Strange because I have not heard sermons like that for a long time.

At FCC, the main message about the sermons is to love and accept oneself just as God has accepted us and to fight for justice for the minorities. That forms the foundation of being a christian, not too bad a message. At NCC, the main message is to rely on God's grace and love to bring  us through life, that through the acceptance of this liberating message on grace, we will be empowered to magnify God in our lives. Not too bad a message too. But I guess discipleship in nurturing a believer's walk and then to deepen one's relationship with God is something that sits very well with my soul. In exaggeration, I may even say that it runs in my blood. Nothing gives more life and purpose to me than sharing a life of worship, submission and ministry unto God with fellow believers.

What's my purpose in life? It used to be to add value in the lives of others in the gifts God has given to me so that they will know Him. Now? It is to share this life I have experienced with others that they may know the goodness of walking with Him.
