life? Do you know your purpose in the Kingdom? If "Yes!", then
commit yourself to it. Be determined, no matter what (or who).
Not sure or don't know? (And that is all right!) Then be committed
to your relationship with God. Be determined that you will maintain
that relationship no matter what (or who). Understanding will come
in time and as needed through that relationship.
And understand this: our relationship with God is our ultimate
purpose. That is why we were created. It even defines eternal life.
John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you.."
When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the
Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper. They traveled
through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a
Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, who was an
attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an
intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to
hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his
name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the
faith. (Acts 13:5-8 NIV)
