What’s the purpose?
29 Jan
I have been spending some time working through A Book of Hours from the writings and reflections of Thomas Merton. During this week, I have become more and more certain of one thing, and Merton helped strengthen this belief. Purpose has been a buzz word, especially with churches attempting to reach out those who are not in church. Book shave been published to tell us what our purpose is. The topic of purpose isn’t a new thing. So here it is. You want purpose? You got it!
We were created in the image of God. God is Love. Therefore, the purpose of our existence is to embody love. True, committed love for EVERYONE! True, committed love struggles to love through every circumstance. True, committed love does not rest in the presence of injustice and discrimination. True, committed love holds to love everyone at all times & in all ways.
Now that’s purpose.
