Why am I on this planet?

Today, we have a guest blogger in the house; I am extremely excited to have her blog on this platform and to me it is a great honour. She is a reference to exciting and titilating blogging; you would simply love her journals. When I hear the word blogging, her name always comes to mind. This babe has got skills; check her out!

Guest blogger:  Cherub (formerly called Bijouxoxo alias kokoro ewa)

Occupation:   Student

Writing Style: Poignant and Captivating

That’s a toughie, I know. Most of us cannot answer that question, and I don’t blame those who don’t know the answer to the question. After reading a book, I got some insight on how to answer the question myself. In as much as I cannot give a specific answer, I now have a better understanding of myself, the people I interact with, my life and what God expects from me on this planet he put me in. I’m going to share some of the things I now know.

 I’ve come to understand that before one can know what his/her purpose is in life, one has to first acknowledge that his/her birth wasn’t a fortuitous event. Like the psalmist says, in Ps. 139:15 and 16, (to paraphrase it), God knew everything from the beginning when the sperm and egg fused to form the zygote (that would later become YOU / ME!) Isn’t that wonderful, unfathomable that the God who made everything in heaven and on earth, has your name and my name engraved in the palm of his hands. How AWESOME! When I think about it, it’s like tattooing the name of someone u love dearly and care for on a part of your body, your palm for that matter so that it will be obvious to everyone (not that I’d recommend that).

Anyway, enough of my preaching, all I’m saying is that most times I am always trying to do things by myself, forgetting that I didn’t create myself and that God who created me has greater plans for me, than I can ever imagine. I’ve decided so many times that I’ll let go and let God do the leading in my life, (not that I’m encouraging laziness), but I fall into the trap of being a “Miss Fix It” all over again. Above all, my prayer now, is that God’s perfect will be done in my life, because no matter how hard I try to figure out what’s best for me, I’m still clueless! (And that’s frustrating). I’ve come to realize that the best thing to do is to hands off completely, and trust God to bring to perfection all that concerns me. Moreover, all the days ordained for me has been written in his book, even before one of them came to pass. You would think that should prevent me from worrying, right? (It’s not my fault blame it on human nature). Now I’ll focus my energy on doing other things instead of dwelling on the fear of the unknown!

    before taking any decision in life, one should consult God and above all the totality of one’s existence is controlled by God so we should allow him direct our steps.
