  • The Ultimate Purpose

     Purpose: The reason something is done or created.

        My favorite class in school is Theater. I love it in that class. The whole reason I take it is because I am terrified of people and well, when I'm acting, I don't have to be. Theater is my escape from all the people around me that I am terrified of. Obviously theater is a hugely positive part of my day. It helps me in many ways. And yet everyday Theater ends at 9:50. If this is such a great part of my day, why wouldn't God make it longer or just have me be there all the time? I know it sounds like a really pointless question but let me change the situation around a little bit.
       Let’s say you’re having the best time ever with your friends. You guys are just roaming around town, laughing your butts off, and just taking time to be friends. Eventually, that night is going to end. Why wouldn't God make it longer? If this time is really giving you a good break from reality and at the same time your strengthening your relationship with your friends. Now why would God want to end that? Eventually those friends would quickly become your worst enemies. You guys would start getting tired and crabby and very annoyed with each other too.
        Very few thing change peoples lives entirely. But just in the course of the last few months, something I experienced has done just that. Now God has ended that experience. Why would God do that? If that experience has helped me to succeed in many things that I never have before, why would God let the experience discontinue?
        Truthfully, I don't know why. But I trust what He does. He is God you know. He can see the thoughts of everyone in the entire world. He knows the names of the crying, the angered, the starved, and the restless. We don't. He has the big picture that our minds don't. So I say to you today, I am one those that is crying, one of those that is angered, and starved for that experience that changed my life. I am restless for the Ultimate Purpose of it all. But as I spend hours in silent thought, I remind myself of what He once told us, "Everything I do, I do because I love you.   
        Even though I am not part of something I once was, I am thankful for at least having the memory of when we were all together.

    Until next time,
