so, knowing that God made us, how then can we find our purpose? the book suggest that there are 3 - life is a test, life is a trust and life is a temporary assignment
why does God test us? Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.. God constantly watches your response to people, problems, success, conflict, illnesses disappointment... You will be tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies.
A very important test is how you act when you can't feel God's presence in your life.. [sometimes] God leaves [us] alone to test [our] character, to reveal a weakness and to prepare [us] for more responsibility
the past two years have indeed been a test. a test that i started badly and failing. one that i slowly crawled out of the dark hole, but with still a huge sack on my back. one that im trying hard to really climb out of. it's also a test of how much i trust Him when nothing in the future is clear at all. each possible path looks equally ambiguous, equally likely to hit a dead end.
but that is faith isnt it? trusting when you cant see...
