CAME TO

Even when we cannot verbalize or explain them, there are always reasons behind our thoughts and actions. What may appear to us as rational based on our experiences, fears, hopes and expectations, may seem illogical to others. This disconnection is a major cause of so many of our relationships not being fully realized. Far too often, budding friendships never get beyond the acquaintance stage and romantic pairings never fully blossom into the love of a lifetime. We do not know what each other came here to do (See “I Don’t Know What You Came To Do” on January 28, 2007) and we forget to accept the responsibilities behind our actions (See “BUT I” on January 29, 2007). And the greatest problem we create is neither of us is clear on our divinely ordained purpose.

I cannot list all of the purposes for which God created you and you cannot do the same for me. In most cases, it is not for either of us to know what God has planned for anyone but ourselves. But, it is important to know that how closely we COME TO living up to God’s expectations for ourselves can have dramatic impacts on those we interact with.

Below are SOME of the purposes that God has ordained that may or may not apply to you:

• Be someone’s spouse
• Be someone’s romantic partner
• Be a successful business owner
• Be a loyal friend
• Be a hero (See, “HERO!” on January 7, 2007)
• Be a parent and/or a god-parent
• Be an expert in your career endeavor
• Be the president of a church auxiliary
  
  

While we should not worry about what God has called others to do, we should devote ourselves to discovering the reasons why God allowed us to COME TO be. Our lifelong endeavor is to decipher His rationale behind why we CAME TO this point in our lives. By accepting this divine challenge, we position ourselves to have positive relationships of all kinds. Being more like God expects us to be; our family, friends, co-workers and romantic partners will be so thankful that we CAME TO. COME TO think about it, you will be thankful too!
