Everyone has a purpose

Today, Davy Liu came to speak at our church service. After listening to his testimony, I felt this long-gone but oh so familiar feeling of warmth in my heart. It was like the feeling I felt when I first attended Vida Nueva more than two years ago. God was speaking to me today.

Ever since I got back to Taiwan and started college, I feel like my faith has been going quite unstable. It felt like I've been living everyday without a clear purpose really. Everyday was basically spent trying to get through classes, finish homework, play play play. And it feels like I'm just not as good as some people here because my grades aren't looking so pretty and it seems like everyone is so talented. It's as if I'm a cheap little glass bead. What happened to the passion I had back in high school?

I forgot.
In God's eyes, we are all special and valuable diamonds. Everyone has a purpose in life, even if we don't see it at the moment. God has gifted each one of us a unique gift. Why should we limit ourselves to fit in the standards of society? Bad grades doesn't mean you are useless, it just means perhaps getting good grades is not the gift that God gave you and wanted you to use for His glory. As long as we live our life to the fullest, we are honoring God.

I'm not saying I don't need to care about studying anymore, but so long as I know I've tried my best, no matter what grades I get, I won't be letting myself down, or letting God down. There must be something else God wants me to do to glorify Him, and what I need to do is to find that purpose by following Him.

God is good, all the time!
All the time, God is good!
