Identity Crisis

Continuing on our discussion on identity crisis, we came to the conclusion that purpose is everything. It is what separates men from men. Now, they are may not particularly have it all planned out, but they certainly know their mission and seek to look for ways to actualize them.

Walking this world without purpose is futile. It's like a headless chicken waling all and about aimlessly and directionless. And unfortunately, this is how most of us are.

We involve ourselves in lots of activities, do things we aren’t ready for, enough to ensure that we are occupied enough, but at the end of the day, you still feel a great void and emptiness.

Then you go again, pushing yourself even harder, engaging in more activities till you can’t keep up with the pace and get drowned in it all, then you ask yourself,

How did I get here?

And sometimes, it seems like you are in a race but with who and what? I see purpose as a breath of fresh air, it’s clean, clear and effortless.

Do you still ask where purpose can be found?

True purpose can only be found in God.

Logically speaking, a person could lay claims to a product if that person thought out the plans for that product. This includes the purpose of making the product, the way he wants the product to function, the attributes he wants it to have and the benefits and shortcomings of the product.

Now, if we relate this illustration to God and we have the belief that he made us, then we would surely know the answer to that question, this is because God practically owns us.

So, where else are you supposed to seek purpose from?

God made us in his likeness, breathed life into us and knows us better than anyone else.

The Bible says to choose first the kingdom of God and all other things shall be added.

The only way we can ameliorate the issue of identity crisis is by yielding to the one who owns and knows us.

When you find yourself in God, you find your identity then, you find purpose.
