Living Purposeful

In my quiet and critical pondering on human complexity and the difference between human existence and living, I've come to find out there are three kind s of human:

The purpose driven—driven by purpose, and wouldn't flinch at the slightest of resentment. They have their faces set like a flint, and just know some tasks lie ahead that they must fulfill. They are done existing for themselves and just want to live up to purpose.


Human driven—like the name, they are driven by human will and choice. Their actions are tied to their allegiance to human. They have no drive of their own. They give in to every human suggestion.

Circumstance driven—everything this set do is based on circumstances surrounding them. They let even their background put their back to the ground, and they lay down their convictions, their will, their purpose in defeat. They are governed by what happens, and everything that happens.

A simple question for you, then you will be able to tell which class you belong to: why are you where you are? That is the big question to living purposeful. Of course you know when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse will be inevitable and that is what is happening to so many—their will has been compromised, and so many people have fallen victim of frustration, and others basking in vague living.

For some, they are where they are because they were talked into  it. For others, because the circumstance of shame and other personal issues that surrounded them made them opt in. For others, it may be to the end of fulfilling purpose.

Psalm 139:15 KJV
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

God knew you before you were conceived, even while still you were made in secret. He ordained your life for a specific purpose. Today so many are running purposeless, making no impact in the space they find themselves. They have resorted to living a circumstance-driven life and others a human-driven life, bending to every "a" and "b" of human command.

The purpose for which so many are existing is lost; just like the purpose of locomotion ease will be lost if there were no cars. One may ask: if I'm made for a reason, why am i not living up to it? A computer manufacturer programs the computer to do every bit of what he had in mind when he was making it, thus, making it not able to function amiss.
Human beings are not robots. While robots can give conditional obedience and pre-programmed functionality, human beings cannot. We are unique and cannot be force-started or force-pushed. God made Adam and Eve, and the garden with the forbidden tree. Man could have chosen to remain loyal and bybass every urge to eat of the forbidden fruit. He could make his choice.

In the same vein, so many have chosen to live purposeless ignorantly and some others intentionally.

Discovering purpose of existence is not as easy. So many things have been damaged already, and finding purpose will not be as easy, but there are sure ways to start. One good way to start is to know you are not an accident; even if your parents hadn't planned you, God did. You should know wherever you are is a space to do something you were enabled to do, your present position is not a mistake or a result of your careless acts, but a space to set a pace.

The ultimate is to go back and ask the one who knew your substance when you were made in secret. Second is to understand that as long as you are aligned to God's will, wherever you find yourself is not as a result of your effort or mistake. You are here because it's part of God's plan for you, and so you just need to ask Him what you have to do at that stage. Third, be determined that you're done living abused of your purpose, and you are not going to anymore. Fourth, live every single day believing, and taking every opportunity that present itself, constantly asking God to direct your actions, and align you.

Someone somewhere is depending on you. Some things won't just happen, even though they are meant to, because you are still existing and not yet living. Ultimately, God is depending on you.

Find your purpose and start living it!
