It has done nothing else but to blind and drag us to the wrong direction of unhappy , unfulfilled and limited life . This is the main reason why for many people , including believers , life remains a mystery . Why ? because just like computers , we operate and function via ' societal and worldly programs '. We constantly look up to the world and others for instructions in order to confirm whether we are still on track and the next step to take .
This is the kind of life many of us know and have embraced , but it ' s not the kind of life God intended for His children . A mere fact that we look up to the world and others for ' confirmation ' and or ' approval ' indicates that there is an underlying problem . And it ' s this problem that I want to address . God didn ' t create man to be independent but to be dependent on Him . If at all we have come to a place where we need answers and we look for those answers in the wrong places , it means one thing : we don ' t know who we are or even where we come from ; we don ' t know to whom we belong and our source thereof . And this mystery is the greatest disaster in the life of any person . The key to understanding life is in the source of life , not in the life itself .
In Dr . Myles Monroe ' s words ; " Never use the creation to find out who you are , because the purpose of something is only in the mind of the one who made it . You will never know yourself by relating to the creation , only to the creator . You will never discover who you are meant to be if you use another person to find yourself . You will never know what you can do by using what someone else has done to measure your ability . You will never know why you exist if you use someone else ' s existence to measure it . All you will see is what they ' ve done or who they are . If you want to know who you are , look at God . The key to understanding life is the source of life , not in the life itself . You are who you are because God took you out of Himself . If you want to know who you are , you must look at the creator not the creation ".
Our failure to look up to God for the answers we seek has led to our failure in discovering who we are and what we carry within us . God is our creator and only He can help us understand who we really are . Only He can give us the right definition of ourselves because we have our beginning in Him . And if we have our beginning in Him , we will find our purpose in Him .
