Our Purpose Driven Life(English Version)

CHAPTER 30 February 23, 2004 5:55pm

     God is the one who shapes us, starting from we are young up to the present. He already planned it before we are born on earth. This was written on His book, that before tomorrow will come God knows that it will happen. Lord God our Father and our Creator mix us properly through DNA or from our parents. That what's happening in our life is the reason why we became who we are now, either it is happy or sad. And even if your life became disconsolate, there are still part of your life that felt happiness.

     Like my family life we had struggles too, our status in life in terms of wealth was affected and because we became less wealthy, we became money wise, and gradually we are adjusting and learning to live by saving money. Yes we still commit mistakes, but little by little we are doing it right. And for you to understand, you must have a mature Holy Spirit or a strong Faith in God, that you think positive on all your sacrifices.

Like me if we did experience financial problem i will not be like this now, and the reason why i was being bullied, teasing i'm a gay before. And sometimes those who does not know me teases me, so that i will experience it and share to my fellow wholeheartedly, what it feels like to be bullied. Because when i was young the effect of being bullied is i always get low grades, i always have a loss appetite specially breakfast, not mingling with my classmates and i have less friends, and because mostly u was being bullied by my male classmates, my friends are all female until i went high school but less female friends. And i have the same school from elementary to high school, and when i was in college all my friends are boys and a bit of girls, but they don't treat me gay anymore, and i have a mutual relationship with a girl, still end up being friends because she has already a boyfriend. We experience financial problems so that i will not study in a university, and still have some of my classmates from my previous school. That's why there is always a reason why this things are happening to us either good or bad.

We are experiencing difficulties in our lives for us to be sturdy. And there are fives ways to SHAPE us, first Spiritual gifts, second Heart, third Abilities, forth Personality, and fifth is Experience. First Spiritual gifts, you cannot collect it or choose your gifts, this gifts are initiatively given from God, and this gifts develops and growing strong on the circumstances that God give to us. Because all this holy gifts will be use for the purpose of God. God loves variety so holy gifts is not just one, but on other people they have more holy gifts and some are less. But it's impossible for you to have it all because we will not need others and Lord God our Father and our Creator doesn't want that. Because we need each and everyone for our mission. We need to help each other because two heads are better than one so if we are alone we are weaker. But we experience two problems from the holy gifts, first jealous and projection. Means on projection we want that others will have the same holy gifts that we have.

First jealous, because they have some holy gifts that we don't have, we should not be because we should only use what God gave us, because if you push yourself to have more than what you have, you will just get in trouble for you will be selfish. And second you should not think that your holy gifts should be the same as other, because we are all different and all will not be balance. For our difference is the bridge for our oneness.

Second from the SHAPE is our Heart, our heart is the one who gives meaning of who we are and what we desire, and if we want something, we will achieve it no matter what and we will not ask something in return. Because that's what we desire and the heart is like that, if we want it we will do it. We are like that and that will be our guide to our mission.

And it's amazing that we have unique voice, and our eyes and thumb prints does not have similarities, even if they are our family or relatives. Lord God our Father and our Creator gave the power to have different strong desires from the things we see, from the circumstances that happened and happening in our lives. That when we grow we have a strong desire that even one of our family member will understand.

That's why we are like that, and it's wrong when we say that i will make myself rich first, even if i'm not happy and when i become rich that's the time when i will do what i desire to make me happy. That's wrong because the riches is not important, it should be deeper than that. What's important is Faith to God.

One of the riches person said that it's better to have a simple life that has fear from God, rather than having a rich life with tons of things that will give you headache.

It's shouldn't be good life, should be better life, and only God can give us better life, we will tackle on the next chapter those three remaining.
