Life's Purpose

March 30, 2010

I've read the entire Bible once and I've been hearing verses and excerpts during masses and I've been reading ang rereading verses and excerpts but I have not hit upon the answer to the question of why God created me in particular. It might sound and look like a self-centered question, but the answer is the foundation of how I would like to live the rest of my life.Sure, I have plans and dreams for what remains of my life which I am praying to GOD for realization, and I am praying that those plans and dreams are part of God's purpose for my life. Maybe I'm too presumptous to be asking that, but it would be nice to know , me, nearing senior citizenship in a few years.
Jeremiah 33:3 says "Call to Me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things which you have not known. " According to God's word, may I ask, please. Some thoughts have crossed my mind -- such as that God loves me and therefore created me so I could keep Him company; that God wants me to be a showcase of His love and generous abundance and become His 'apple of the eye'. Thinking like a spoiled brat , I admit, but I think it would be wonderful to God's pampered 'spoiled brat' . It is very delightful to be thinking along those lines. On my part , I know that I would like to serve God and obey Him in all things and become a delight to Him.. On the cosmic scale, I really want to feel like 'Daddy's girl' .. Is that being presumptuous?
