Today, as I was snowed in with some of my friends, we were discussing the purpose for which we were created. All of us have different aspirations, goals and dreams, however, one commonality remains: our dreams all have been God-ordained. I had the thought though, why is it that some people are afraid to live within the purposes for which they have been created? Is it that we are so afraid to fail? I would venture to say that it is not the fear of failure, but the fear of success that most drives us. Success requires responsibility. If we do the thing that we are called to do, and we are successful, then we are lifted to a higher level, and thereby are expected to do more for the glory of God. It is therefore, easier to sit and say that we can't do or complete our purpose because in that respect, we won't have any responsibilities.
My challenge is this: why not live the purpose driven life and complete tasks for the glory of God? As we complete those tasks, others around us are inspired to do the same. Is that not our grand purpose?
