It’s almost an existential question. Most of us ask this at some point along our journey: What is my calling in life? What was i created for? What is God’s grand purpose for me? As we wrestle to find the the reason for our existence, we often overlook the purpose of the moment, the purpose of this hour or this minute of our lives.
What is my purpose for walking down this street, or waiting in the bus station. What is the purpose of this traffic jam or missing my flight? Perhaps meeting a specific person at a place or time? Each moment can have a purpose, a divine calling to help someone in need, to give someone an encouraging word, to share a smile with a stranger. How often do we miss the needs of all the people that cross our paths while engrossed by our own needs, our own search for purpose and fulfillment.
Each moment we live presents an opportunity and purpose. It’s right there, right now, within grasp wherever you may be. We simply need to take a look around us and find an opportunity to bless others, which can be the purpose for this moment of our life.
