If you choose the same belief as I do, you will surely understand when I say that its not a coincidence why you are in the present state of life. Then we can come to the next statement that every single thing happens for a reason. And the reasons I mean here is that when we choose to obey then we will find out the reasons unfailing itself for us.
I am proud to say that my life happens for one reason. For sure the reason is to glorify HIM in and through me and to make a difference in others’ life. Just like the hardship and hard edges of Israelites when they were travelling the desert to the promised land, its all to the glory of His name, the ultimate owner of life.
I belief that the best decision I ever made in life is to choose to commit to follow HIM. I follow Him not because I choose to, rather because He called me. Not because I am fulfilling the status He wanted me to, yet due to His grace to me.
A new life essentially begins when you know what are you here for! This is well stated in Rick Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Life which I have read three times already and just finished reading for the 4th time just last week. The beginning of real life is the moment when you realize that you are here not for your personal goal, but to obey HIM who put and created you and choose this time to let you live this life now and here. He could have put you to live 5o years back, or 100 years from now. But because He knows who you are and what you are here for, so He choose to put you at this era.
A total change in life actually begins at the moment you realized that you are nothing, and that you are – because HE is.
Isn’t it amazing knowing that you are special? If you ever feel like useless, hopeless, and nuisance to others, believe me that God never counted you so. He chooses you simply because He has planned you for a specific function. Once you realise this, you are starting your own new life; for Him.
