Purpose

Why is it the ship beats the waves when the waves are so many and the ship is one?  The reason is the ship has a purpose.
-Winston Churchill

In our day and age we are constantly baraged with conflicting opinions, that which one person believes to be true and another believes false and vice versa.  There is a constant antithesis in our culture on every issue, whether your left or right, wrong or right, and on and on.  Some people may see this as a negative force in this world, yet to me at least those people believe in a cause, believe that what they are saying is right and they have some purpose behind what they do.  Sadly, there exists a passive majority of the population of the world, who don't care because they don't believe it affects them personally.  Who daily cry out, "Why should I care, I'll never have to deal with that?"  As people, I believe, that we were created to stand for something, we were created to have a purpose, to believe in something, because we were created with a destiny and calling on each of your lives.  God created us with a sense of purpose, because He himself is a purposeful God.  We do not wander aimlessly without direction, we are guided by the One who created us.  God created us to have a specific purpose in life, even those who do not know God enact that drive that He placed within us, whether we use it to bring us closer to Him or not is our decision.  May we seek God for our purpose, our destiny, and our calling, that we may live a life, a noble sacrifice of praise to the One who is worthy of our praise.
