Social Justice, What's Our Purpose?

Matthew 25 creates the overwhelming responsibility and heart wrenching area of social justice that makes me sometimes wish I never would have discovered, what I really knew all along, but left my head in the sand. With millions of children and adults dying every year of starvation and the injustice taking place in our world, it is my obligation out of love to do more than I have in the past. The start of love is one person at a time in my opinion.

Discovering and growing my faith, discerning over obligations that go along with the betterment of the world as a result of my love for mankind, (Love your neighbor), and the grace that God has given me of salvation, talents and the ability to love are all obligations that need to be sorted out consciously to determine my purpose in life. Why it is some people can just say my purpose in life is to be a good father, husband, employee and go to church on Sunday and others like myself, have to make this journey very complicated and question weather we have really discovered our purpose in life.

The love and self-giving is an obligation that goes along with discovering Gods plan for us. It is also nice to realize that unconditional love is what God has for us. So when I sin or fail to fulfill my obligations as a servant, He will still love me and forgive me. It is also rewarding and comforting to know that this love has been there all the years when I was not there for God.
I guess, I really have discovered my purpose in life, however it’s like everything in the world today, change is inevitable. What do you think?
