The Purpose of Life

By: Robin Mize

It is very important to think about the purpose of life. Everyone has a purpose. Everyone has a different purpose. Whether the purpose is being a youth pastor and preaching the Word to teens or being a wonderful singer and singing songs of praise, God has a plan for us all. I may not be one to get up in front of many teens, or one to belt a tune, but I have a significant purpose here on earth. To this day, I still am unsure of what exactly my purpose is.

I feel as everyday has a purpose and everything happens for a reason. My purpose here on earth is to positively influence my peers and spread the Word of God. One of the main ways I want to spread the Word of God is to become a Chemical Dependency Counselor. For a while now it has been a dream to go to college in that field for many reasons. I am passionate about counseling people who are chemically dependant.

Throughout my life, I have been around many people who are/were chemically dependant. People who were very dear to me have passed away with the cause of drugs and alcohol, and I want to change people’s lives before it is too late. Through the Chemical Dependency Counseling, I can bring lost souls to Christ. I hope to fix the lives of many. If it were not in God’s plan for me to have the career of Chemical Dependency Counseling, I would find another way to touch the lives of many. Being a strong Christian and showing Christ through one’s actions is a way to bring people to Christ and if that’s what God’s plan for me is, then that’s what I’ll have to do.

A goal, the result or achievement toward which effort is directed, I don’t have many but the few I do have are important. Some have what is called a bucket list, a list of things one wants to accomplish before they die; I tried to make a bucket list and failed. I have main goals though. My number one goal I want to achieve is to bring someone to Christ. My second goal is to strive to be the best Christian I can be.

People are put on earth for a very important purpose, although most don’t know Christ and don’t know the meaning of life. Some know Christ; they just haven’t found their purpose yet, like me. But I continue to journey to find my purpose and to fulfill my goals with the grace of God. Hopefully it be his will.

Today I was assigned to write a paper about the purpose of life and the goals I want to achieve, for once i was actually really excited to write it. lol. So i sat down and spilled my thoughts. it had no minimum or maximum for the length, let me know what you think before i turn it in.
