Purpose touches the Human Spirit and we become the superhuman we were created to be. What role are you supposed to play? In the words of William Shakespeare, "The world is a stage and all the people players." That the powerful play goes on!
Robin Williams in the film Dead Poet's Society portrays an instructor in a private school charged with the daunting challenge of teaching teenage boys the value of poetry. In one poignant scene he huddles the entire class around him in the middle of his classroom and recites these lines penned by Walt Whitman: "O me! O life of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, o life? Answer. That you are here that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse." Then as he searches the eyes of the young men, he asks; "What will your verse be?"
For most of our lives we hear purpose expressed in terms, which define us as mere members of a chorus that our purpose is to " serve God" or " to have relationship with God" or :to glorify God." So how do we glorify' God?
When we are fulfilling our purpose our assignment we are glorifying God. So it's essential that we find out what that assignment is. I ask you; What is your verse in the life's powerful play,'
Your purpose is God's definition of you. You were created to elicit a specific result. When you are fulfilling your purpose you are conforming to the moral order of the universe. Find it. That's good.
