Life's Purpose



Life's Purpose

We all are here to fulfill a Divine Purpose. To know it requires the willingness to unmask what's beneath the surface. Traumatic events that occur in our lives make it difficult to recover. While amid agony, we demand to know the reasons why we suffer. Despair will break us down and then build us up in so many ways. As long as we continue with life, rather than taking an easy escape. By choosing to accept life on life's terms, we are choosing to believe. Not only in ourselves but in something higher than a man's prestige. With belief, we begin to trust that love may not be a delusion. With that, I have hope to see past what's shattered and unsoothing. Tragedies may entice us to feel abandoned and unloved. Yet, love doesn't leave us, but it is we who leave love. The quicker we learn to conquer the despair, the sooner we'll know love was always there. What some of us may see that love is only a facade. The real love we feel comes from the almighty God. If we search deep within ourselves, we will find out why we're here. Even with that found, we still have more obstacles to persevere. The courses we complete will build our souls. So that we may leave here more righteous and bold. For if we go to heaven just as we are now, will we be worthy enough to be allowed? Life is full of tests we lake, only to study for them later. It's the best way to consume love and become something much greater. Enlightenment comes after we throw away our sorrows, and remember we are worthy of today and prominent for tomorrow. With hope, we take that lesson and make it a part of ourselves and live by an example for everyone else. A great idea can easily be thought up by one, but it takes will, and dedication for the art to be done. Being aware of our purpose just isn't enough, but to identify ourselves, as what God intended, shows others true love. Life's not about the amount of material that one can gain. Although, that's the cause of the ambition some of us strive to maintain. It's only a distraction to hide the real truth, so, we may only see the world in its trickery costume. Following the will of God is the only true success and living out our purpose so that others may aspire to find themselves.
