There is nothing more sad then going through life aimlessly with no goals and no purpose.
Christians do have a purpose and it is an amazing thing to be a part of when you see what the Bible says about it.
First of all it might be uplifting for you to realize that you have been called according to Gods purpose.
In fact in Ephesians chapter 1 it goes as far as to say that we have been predestined according to the purpose of God.
If you think about that word predestined it spells out loud and clear that we as Christians have a destiny.
We have been pre- destinied (yeah I know it's not a real word) but it shows that every Christian has a purpose.
How many movies have you watched where the hero discovers he or she has a destiny? How many lines have been uttered that say something like - Fulfill your destiny? If you have become a Christian you have a destiny and the encouragement is that you too need to fulfill your destiny.
Anything outside of that doesn't really bring you fulfillment or happiness.
A destiny is exciting - going on quest to fulfill your destiny is a challenge.
The Bible says we have no continuing city here on earth because Christians are sojourners looking for a better country.
We are all on our destiny quest.
Hebrews 13:1 says, Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.
We are partakers of the heavenly calling.
The word partaker means: sharing in, a partner.
Christians are partners in this heavenly calling, we share the same destiny as Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:12 says, Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: The word meet means: to make sufficient, render fit, to equip one with adequate power to perform the duties of one.
What a wonderful purpose we share: I will give thanks to the Father God has made me sufficient to share in the inheritance of the saints God has rendered me fit to be a partner of the inheritance of the saints God has equipped me with adequate power to perform the duties of a saint Finally I will leave you with this verse from Colossians 1:13 - Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.
To translate means to take from one place to the other.
We have been taken out of an aimless and purposeless world and translated into the amazing kingdom of Jesus Christ full of purpose.
From this day forward my friends, Fulfill your Christ given destiny.
