My Purpose
My purpose here on earth
is not for my own pleasure or man’s,
but it is for God’s pleasure.
Life is not about you or me,
but about God.
It is not God’s responsibility
to make me happy or provide
all that I want and desire.
But He will and He does.
It is my purpose in life
to make God happy
and fulfill His desires.
Which I fail at
far more than do.
His desires are for me
to love and worship Him
and love my neighbor.
To care for the hurting
and care for the needy.
To see something other
than my own little plans or wants.
To see a plan greater
than my own
is what He has.
When I see all and help all
as if it were my very own life,
then I begin, yes just begin,
to fulfill what God’s plan
is for my life.
When I can develop
my attitude, my way of thinking
to align with God’s attitude
then I am one step
closer to His plan.
When I grow up
and become the person
of God that He desires me to be,
then is when I will be
the happiest and most fulfilled.
Through all my misery,
my hurts and my pain,
and troubles even then
shall I rejoice
in His peace and love.
Because of His love,
which flows so deep,
His peace, His joy
I need not dwell
in my problems as I do.
But be a victor in all
areas of my life .... everything
that I set my hands and feet on.
For when I am weak
then He makes me strong.
All that I have,
all that I am,
all that I long to be
is because of my Lord
and what He means to me.
He is my reason for being,
He gives me ....
my very life’s breath.
I desire to be the reflection
of Him and His love to the world.
