"What's my purpose in life?" Have you ever asked yourself that? It sounds like a tough question, but It's not. The answer is extremely simple. The purpose of your life is to know, love, and serve the Lord. Easier said than done.
Everyone knows Jesus, right? Not really. People know Jesus like I know Steve Yzerman. He played for the Wings, scored 692 goals, won 3 stanley cups, and wore number 19. But I couldn't honestly say that I know Stevie. Most of us know Christ in the same way. He was born of a virgin, healed a few blind people, and died on a cross...oh, and rose from the dead. Christ wants you to be as comfortable with him and share your successes, struggles, and everything in between.
Think of one of your closest friends. How did you become so close? It didn't happen right away, but over months or perhaps years of confining in each other, a trust grew. A relationship with God is no different. Start small by sharing a few things. Then as time goes on, give God more. Eventually you realize that the more you give to God, the more rewarding life becomes. Conversion happens when you realize that God does a better job at controlling your life than you do and you sign your life over to God. When this is done, that's when your life gets exciting. Just look at past Saints who gave their life to God. Just look at the amazing lives of John Paul the Great, Mother Teresa, Maximilian Kolbe, St. Peter, St. Paul, St. Catherine, St. Nick, etc. All these men and women had legendary lives as they served the Lord.
Are you ready to have a personal relationship with Christ?
