Divine Purpose

 It seems that the possibility of having a divine purpose to our lives promotes several reactions.
  • Fright - What if it is huge and scary and something I can't fulfill?
  • Wonder - Is there more to my life than eating chips and playing video games?
  • Anger - I want to pick my own plan and don't need any marching orders from God or the universe!
  • Scarlett O'Hara - I'll worry about that another day
I think the divine plan is today.  It is living it today and everyday.  The job I have right now is part of the divine plan of my life.  Not pre-destined, definately free-will, but part of the plan.  If we get up every day and use our talents and gifts with joy and enthusiasm, we are part of the divine purpose in the universe.  Each and every one of us is a divine idea in the mind of God.  We have unique abilities to be used just like tools over our lifetimes.
