Today, be reminded that you did not create yourself, and it is not your right to decide how your life should be. God made you for His divine purpose, and you should seek to fulfil it. God has the final say concerning your life. You should not be self-seeking or indulge in a lifestyle that suits your interests.
Rather than deciding what our purpose should be, accept it as God has ordained. Also, you cannot choose to go about it on your own. You must follow God’s design.
Do not be like Jonah, whose attitude is best in the Catholic hymn:
GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER
VERSE 2
Jonah was a gloomy sort,
He always had a sad report.
He ran from God, he ran, and he set sail,
His journey’s end was quite abrupt,
A fish came by and swallowed him up,
He spent three dark and dreary days
inside the whale.
Jonah was not willing to accept God’s will until God chastened him. Your case should not be the same. Learn obedience.
Jude Ayua: Author, Finding Purpose.
