What Is Our Purpose?
By C. Renee Phillips
Have you noticed that birds do sing? Trees do swing? Have you noticed that trees help you breathe?
Trees provide shade. Trees blossom. Trees shed leaves. Trees are rooted and connected to the vine. What is a tree without branches?
If we as humans are the most perfect creation, liken unto God What is our purpose? What are we providing? Who are we protecting? Are we blossoming? Are we connected? Are we branching out?
The fullness of life cannot be found in material things, our purpose is not to love God and obtain money, cars, houses, fame, and all of the bling and things. Our purpose is to love God and love his people; protect our youth and provide for the elders and those without.
Our purpose is to blossom in character and be like God. Our purpose is to branch out, connect with people and strengthen them. That's the fullness of life; we must understand our purpose and the need to assure there will be equality among men.
"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness of it..."
Psalm 24:1
"By an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality."
2 Corinthians 8:14
