Do you know why you was sent into this world?
Did you ever discover your unique function or mission in life.
I believe we all have a small part in God's plan.
I think the elderly people can answer these questions better?
I would like to learn and hear from others

God has a plan for every Christian. Each Christian should discover God's plan for his life. This is something that God will gradually unfold to him as he lives his life under the direction of the Holy Spirit in all areas of his life, including the fellowship to attend, learning God's word, identifying and flowing in his anointings and giftings, worship and prayers, in ministry, in daily living, etc. As he remains faithful in carrying out what the Holy Spirit directs him to do in the course of his life God's plan for his life will become clearer and clearer to him with the passing of time. The discovery of the plan is a process and God can also send prophets to him to confirm His plans for his life each step of the way.

"Do you know why you was sent into this world?"
I wasn't sent, but hey, here I am.
"Did you ever discover your unique function or mission in life."
It's not a mission, but no, not really. I'm still young. Probably a lot younger than most people 'round these parts would guess.
"I believe we all have a small part in God's plan."
Oh. That's nice. I don't.
"I think the elderly people can answer these questions better?"
Yes, I think so, too?
"I would like to learn and hear from others"
Yeah, me too.

I'm definitely not elderly, but I have figured out my mission in life.
I feel I'm here to preach the good news of God's coming Kingdom. Especially since the time I live in is so full of crime, violence, hate, and the list could go on, but that only make it more depressing.
I like to share the marvelous hope of a paradise earth just as Jesus and his disciples shared with others. At Daniel 2:44 it speaks of a government by God that will crush and put an end to all earthly governments in the end. Personally, I think that is wonderful news! And I like to spend the majority of my time sharing that information with others.

I agree with you that we are all a part of Gods plan. We all have a purpose in this life, but I'm only seventeen so I have not yet figured out mine. I do have this particular desire to become a teacher and go to foreign countries and work with children in orphanages or even just teaching english as a second language to a less privileged country.
I want to hear what the older people have to say too, I hope that when I am older I will be able to say that I have not lived my life in vain and that I know what role I played in Gods plan.

1)I was not sent into the world I was born into it as everyone else was, through Adam and Eve, as the beginning of our Ancestors. 2.) The mission, that was given to me, in my life is to help people to learn the truth about God, and to help them to be able to benefit themselves by learning and observing God's Word.
3.)Yes we do all have a part in God's Grand Plan for us but not everyone knows what it is this is why my mission is to help people find out about God's plan. 4)I am not elderly, but I am well on the way.
I like your attitude of wanting to learn from others, that is very good because we can all learn from each other if only we give learning a try!
Peace and Love

Great question. I am pushing 50, not there yet, I have had 9 children of my own. I am still raising 4 of them plus I have sudtody of my grandaughter. I also have taken in two teenage boys who needed a place to stay and guidance. I also am in the process, with the help of God, of helping a young lady get her life together so she can keep her upcoming child and try to get her first son back. I am laways there for my children and help whnever and however I can. I believe that God has put me here to help others especially young people. Whenever my children make friends and bring them around I am called mom. It is great I enjoy it andThank God for the blessing of the children. If we can get into a position to do it my husband and I have considered opening a foster home to help even more children. May God Bless you all and have a glory filled day.

What do you consider elderly? Yes I know why I was sent to live this current life. To learn the lessons I still had to learn. As I look back I see the pattern leading up to this point. Life is a classroom. If you fail, you have to repeat.
One of my missions was to gestate my daughter. To be a catalyst for change in certain people. And to conquer fear.

Although I do not consider myself elderly (I am soon to be 64), I do consider myself experienced. I have a personal relationship with God and He has had me playing many roles in life. The one that seems to be most prevelent at the moment is two fold. Being a peacemaker between believers of different religious backgrounds and being an example to people in prison through my work as an officer in a corrections setting.

I have a trilogy of books by Neale Donald Walsch called Conversations with God. These books have given me the answers to your questions in a way that is meaningful to me. This may not be the case for you but they might be worth a look. I don't think I'm elderly but I've been around a while lol!

I wish I knew how to answer your question. Honestly, in my age I still am trying to find out what God really has sent me to this world for. A few years back, I thought I was doing what I was meant to do, I was happy, fulfilled and gratified. Before long I realized I was being selfish and all I was doing was to satisfy my wants. Now every time I pray I ask Him to please guide me so that His will for me be done. After all He is the great architect of all our lives. I have my own plans in life, but I also seek to recognize God's message for me and that His intentions be accomplished through me.
