What Is Our Purpose in Life?

Author: gail
Many of us wonder what we are on this earth for. Some of us wonder what our purpose in life is. When I was in high school, me and some of my friends wanted to be singers. People screamed over us as if we were actually famous at a talent show called air band. We made up our own songs, and then the name was changed to talent show the next year. We were picked on a lot in high school, but we got attention in the end. Though we did not win the talent contest, we knew we were the real winners. I feel that the cheers that we got from the talent show was letting us know that we could be great someday. However, none of us are singers and none of us are famous.

Sometimes I look at all of the famous people I use to like. Some of them are dead. I read about all of the trials and tribulations that they had being famous. The life of some famous people make me wonder if we are all really living our purpose. Many of us have talent, but are we using it the right way? It seems that if you rise high, you soon come down. Fame becomes too much. Things can go to a person's head, and people change. Then there are those like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther king. They had an impact on a world of people. Something evil wanted them destroyed.

My conclusion is, there is only one purpose. We have to turn to the one that gave us our talents and that one is the one who created us. When we turn to man, man will cheat, lie, and steal. Man will envy and sometimes take lives because he is greedy for a dollar bill. Man will make you a slave and use you. Our purpose is to become what the creator made us to do and be. That creator is God almighty. Some people will not acknowledge him. That may be the reason why some of us do fall.
