Do you live your life like you have a purpose, or do you just go through the motions? Do you even feel like you have any purpose? Isaiah 14:26-27 tells us that the Lord is a God of purpose, and that when He plans something it will come to pass. God has designed us all for specific purpose in life. John 10:10 states "A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in abundance." Jesus knew His purpose.
We all need to know and understand we have a purpose in this life or it can lead to feelings of uselessness, worthlessness, and frustration. God wants us to enjoy the life He has given us. He has also called us to produce good fruit, the fruit of the Holy Spirit within us.
We need to know our purpose, and we need to do it "on purpose." We should purposely decide to live our lives in a way that would please God. Such as, loving on purpose. We do not love because we feel like it: we love because we choose to do it. It is a conscience decision we make about how we relate to other people. Giving is also a decision we make on purpose. We do not give only because we feel like it. We give because we know that is what God wants us to do. We give on purpose and for a purpose.
The same is true of being kind and being merciful. We do not do those things because we necessarily always feel like doing them, but because we are called by God to do them. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness are all fruits of the Holy Spirit living in us when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior. We need to purposely decide to release those fruits to others so that they may be blessed, and God be glorified.
Our flesh is not always going to agree with us to do these things, but we must choose to love on purpose, give on purpose, and stay at peace on purpose. Everything we do for others, and in life needs to be done on purpose. God can help us all become a person of purpose if we just ask Him.
