Purpose



The purpose of life for a Christian believer,
Is to love and serve God, our almighty Creator.

To follow His teachings, and walk in His ways,
To spread His love, and give Him all the praise.

To help those in need, and show them the light,
To be a beacon of hope, in the darkest of night.

To live a life of faith, and trust in His plan,
To be a good steward, of all that's at hand.

To be a witness for Christ, and share His good news,
To bring others to Him, and help them to choose.

To be a disciple, and make other disciples too,
To be a part of His kingdom, forever anew.

The simply put we are to submit, trust, and glorify God,
To be transformed into His image for we are flawed.

So let us live our lives, with purpose and grace,
And seek to know God, in every time and place.

    One thing one can say about this excellent poem is the good poetic heroic couplets shown from beginning to end. It is good to notice that any believer would be pleased while reading what these verses say.
    Good work!
