Purpose

So today I’m at my favorite time of the day —lunch! and im at the vending machines getting a rice crispy treat and a friend came up to me just with pure excitement in his voice. He said shay guess what just happened and so i was like what. he goes so my teacher was fussing at me and then all of a sudden in a kind of smart alec way she said “son whats your purpose in life” and all he said was “to serve God” and the teacher was speachless she had nothing to say. so im sitting here thinking what if we all that that kind of courage one that when somebody asks us who we are its not im shay i go to this school and i like to do this and that.  it im shay a child of christ the almighty God and thats the only thing that matters. what if we had the kind of courage that when people ask us what our purpose is in this life, all we would say is to serve God. why don’t we have the courage to take that step that “leap of faith” because God is there. i don’t know what your going through right now but i know that my God whatever it is, is SO BIG that no matter what it is it is in his hands and he is there just saying “trust me i’ve got you” and just embrace the struggle and follow God. i don’t really know if this makes a whole lot of sense but i know that all of this remains true. its like isaiah 43:2-3 says “But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.”

Guys we serve the most high God do you realize nothing absolutely nothing can touch us so step up and step out no matter the circumstance God has you he is gonna be the only one who matters and the only one you will ever have to answer to for anything that could ever really matter… so please whats your purpose to serve the most high God or sit and watch?? you’ll have to answer that one yourself!
