Have you found your purpose in life yet?

You probably clicked on this article because of the title. For that, I hope this article will enlighten you as to what our purpose in life really is.

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28

In this writing, let me share to you the relationship between a farmer and his carabao. The Carabao helps the farmer by plowing the fields, carrying and moving heavy objects and transporting crops and other materials needed for farming. The farmer on the other hand, guides the Carabao  in forming the division in the fields for plants and their goal is to feed the rest of the people. I know that you’re probably thinking where I’m going with this thought but let me tell you that the relationship between the farmer and the carabao is like our relationship between God, or Jesus , His son.

You see, Jesus is the farmer; He guides us along the way for us to fulfill our purpose which is to serve the God and His people. We are God’s agents just as the carabao is the farmer’s helper. We are here in this world to help Jesus spread the good news, to be blessed by God in our daily endeavors and to be guided by the Holy Spirit in fulfilling our  greatest purpose in life, which is to be God’s children. 

One of the most asked questions is what really is the point of our existence? 

For me, there are three kinds of people. The first one are the people  who already have an answer to their existence. Second are the people who are still searching for the reason of their existenceand lastly are the people who are still clueless.

1 Corinthians 8:6 says, “There is but one Lord,Jesus Christ through whom all things came and through whom we live.” 

1 Corinthians 8:6 is telling us the Lord is reason of our existence therefore we shall exist for Him. It’s been made clear when the priest says this during mass 

“Through Him, with Him, in Him in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, almighty Father, forever and ever.” For this reason, one cannot say that there’s no point of his/her existence. We came through Him, We are with Him, and in Him, we can fulfill our purpose. 

Everything that we do here on Earth should be in His honor and glory because He is our existence. Why did I say that? I have been in the different phases. From the one who doesn’t know their true existence, to the one who is searching for the reason behind their existence and lasty to the one who have found the answer.

Let me share to you my experience. I have fought against depression back in High School and I kept telling myself that I have no place in this world and that I was only born to die but I didn’t want to think that way so I looked for answers. I looked for my purpose in life everywhere until I found Jesus. He gave me answers and enlightened me about life. He said “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Trust in God;Trust also in me.” At that moment, everything made sense and suddenly, life became meaningful.

All love to you who is reading this. You are loved by God. ❤️
