A Purposeful LifeBefore I began to meet with the local church I was one miserable person, very self centered, and I wondered why people did sports and other activities, which had no meaning in my life. Life had no purpose. I also was very shy; I was an introvert. There was no hope for me. I knew life would remain the same for me until I died.
One day I met a Christian who knew the Bible. At the time I didn't know that God, the One who was hidden (Isaiah 45:15), wanted me to know Him. I was very open to this Christian and she brought me to the local church in the city where I was living at that time. I was so warmly welcomed by the Christian sisters that I experienced the Lord's love, care and interest in me through them. This was all new, pleasant and inviting to me. I felt at home, full of rest, peace, joy, and comfort; God was there. I came alive. I had hope.
The local church is the place where God first manifested Himself to me. Now the Lord desires that I would go on to know Him in my daily life. He is living in me, making Himself real to me. Hallelujah-I have found Him. He gives purpose to my life.
