I was sent here To learn the true meaning of love.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

There is a purpose we are supposed to know about? Don't kid yourself or believe others who want to fool you into believing that purposes should be a goal. We are here today, tomorrow we might be there, for no other purpose than we wanted to go there, and if we have the means to stay there or stay here, its in Gods hands. This does not mean we live aimlessly, it just means we are free to make the best of every situation we become involved in.

Friend, In the bible it is written, "I live because He lives"....(referring to Jesus) so, if there was no other reason for me to get out of bed this morning, I would because of the love Jesus had for me first....
My purpose is to bring the Lord out in everything I do...from being a mom to meeting people everywhere I go...Sharing life w/ people is a purpose. and Jesus is LIFE.
Prior to giving my heart to the Lord when I was 27, I was formerly engaged in drugs, booze, ect....my life had no purpose...my "purpose" was to get thru the day...I had lived w/ hurts from being molested in the past, being abandoned by my real father, having my husband cheat on me, and at one point leave me, I was one big mess! When I gave my heart to the Lord, he cleaned me up from the inside out...my problems didn't all go completely away...but now I had purpose...and 13 yrs later, my purpose is to share life w/ others....that there is life in the Lord...and hope...
I hope this makes some sense to you....& I wish you the best of everything....

I am A. Qurius Muse...
My purpose?
The Meaning of Life is the answer to this question:
God, what is Your purpose of Existence?
For God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.
I asked God that question...
God answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."
Everything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.
God gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.
You are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.
This is your purpose.

I am living this life for Jesus. He created me, died for me, and saved me. He is my life and all I am is His. My only purpose in this life is to serve Him and share His love and saving grace with the world.
What about you?
In Christ,
Sabrina

I was born through no choice of my own so here I am. I might as well enjoy every moment as much as I can and be as good as a person as I can.
