The purpose is larger than life itself. I understood it now that the purpose is to stand in the gap - The gap between Heaven (the abundant provider of blessing) and the Earth ( people, who need blessings, grace, support, kindness and in need of something or other). We are the chosen ones, in pleasure and in suffering, to share with the needy and to prepare this world to receive grace, holiness and blessing. Are u with me ? Did u get it ? The steps to get to this blessed title is to deny our self and be volunteering to take the cross and follow the Lord. Once we dedicate ourselves to the Lord, the next step will be to deny self - deny the passions and desires of the self, that has kept us and is keeping us in bondage until now...! And then we start being the point of contact, between Heaven and Earth and the grace and blessings flow through us. U know - there is a greater delight in getting happiness through the act of God than being happy with an Act of the World. Want to experience this in your life? Want to take yourself to a greater purpose and achieve it? Write to me, lets discuss. While discussing, lets allow others to participate. God loves those who share godliness. U and I are a small but firm part of God Himself. So why deny the existence / presence, when we already have Him inside us. God doesnt become larger by we magnifying him, cos He is largest of all, we know that too. But we can best do to magnify Him in our minds, thats what pleases Him. Our minds are currently filled with self, and we need to magnify Him to reduce the Self in us, and slowly but steadily we will grow in God.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/669006294078881776-6110162762222243798?l=showersofblessing.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://showersofblessing.blogspot.com/2007/01/showers-of-blessing.html</feedburner:origLink></item><copyright>(c) 2005 Mark D Taylor</copyright><media:credit role="author">Mark D Taylor</media:credit><media:rating>nonadult</media:rating></channel></rss>
