What's Your Purpose?

[Christsfreeservant]

What’s Your Purpose? Why you be?
Are you trapped? Or are you free?
In and out is where you are?
Sometimes nearer? Sometimes far?

Broken record played each time?
Nothing changes, not in time?
Worn out efforts do not work
So you angry? So you irk?

What’s the purpose, shrink from all?
You no courage? You no gall?
Run away is your escape?
You’re just playing same old tape.

This goes nowhere, never has,
Broken record, same old jazz.
Time is passing, passing by,
One day you are gonna die.

Make decision, make it now,
To stop passing, passing ball.
Face the music, face it well,
So you don’t end up in hell.

[Christsfreeservant]

Purpose of christian is to love God, love others and yourself.

Yes, that is to be the purpose of the Christian. But the question is, "What is your purpose?" Like, in reality, what do you live for? How do you live day in and day out? For what our purpose should be and what many have as their real purpose, which is evident by how they live, may not be one and the same. And so this is asking a lot of pointed questions, in poetic form, to help the reader to know what his or her real purpose is, for if it is what this is talking about, and not what God has purposed for our lives, then something needs to change. The heart needs to change for it is not aligned with God's purpose for our lives if what this poem describes is what the person is really living by, which many are, if truth be told.
