God's Purpose

‘If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents—the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else’s. But if their thoughts—i.e. of materialism and astronomy—are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It’s like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milkjug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset.’
C.S. Lewis, The Business of Heaven


In today's world, there are many beliefs being pushed and taught about why we are here and how we got here. But those of us who truly know who we are and who our Father is, know that nothing and no one was put here by accident. That is nothing accidental or coincidental about why we are here. God has a purpose for everything, and He has a purpose for us as well.
Sometimes life seems like an uphill battle of dealing with one trial after another, making many wonder what it is all for and why should they keep going on. True, there is opposition in all things, but some may feel that all they experience is opposition and it is hard for them to see any good in life.
But there is good.
We need to learn to look past the bitter in life and seek out the sweet, because it is always there. Yes, this is easier said than done, but it can be done, believe me, I know. If the Savior can help me through the harrowing storms and devastation I have experienced in my life and carry me to those sunny days, He can help anyone. The secret to latching on to the Savor's help is believing you are important and significant enough to seek His help. With each passing day, we need that help more than we know.

So remember, God loves us and has a purpose for everything He does. He does nothing by accident and His plans never involve coincidence.
There is always a purpose.
We are that purpose.
