I am not saying this because I see no purpose to my life. I am writing this because I see many different purposes in various people's lives. Some people live to play the stock market, some people live to make as much money as possible, and yet others live to collect every single Apple device that ever comes out. But as Christians we are called to a much greater purpose.
Make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted (Isaiah 12:4)
Our life long purpose is to tell everyone in the world about what God has done -- that He gave his only son so that we might be saved. Wow!
Our lives need to reflect God's love in everything we do. We are His beacons of light in a world filled with darkness and hatred. We need to SHINE for Jesus -- Share His Incredible News Everywhere!
As we live life, we need to constantly be thinking about Shining for Jesus. Maybe shining in your life means talking to someone at your church or job that seems to be hurting. Maybe it means serving at a homeless shelter or a home for the elderly. Pray and ask God what He wants you to do to shine!
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
