GOD HAS CREATED YOU FOR A HIGHER PURPOSE

Find Your Purpose

ROBERT CLIVE was a clerk in the East India Company in the eighteenth century. Dissatisfied with his salary of a mere five pounds a year, he decided to end his life. He pointed his revolver to his head and pulled the trigger, but it misfired. Then, suddenly he cried out that God had made him for a bigger task! After this, he joined the East India Company’s Army, and gradually reached the top.

Robert Clive went on to become instrumental in establishing British rule in India. The Quran and Hadith tell us that if God prevents a task from happening the way you had planned it, it is a clue that He wants you to do something else. A  Hadith  report says that when God loves a people, He tests them through difficulties. (Tirmidhi)

So, be grateful for the seeming setbacks and problems you
face in life. They may be God’s way of telling you that
He has some higher purpose for you.

It is to make you rethink and re-plan your life. If your plans do not get fulfilled, it is an indication from God. It tells you that He has created you for something bigger than what you are presently involved in. God has not created you to make this world your goal and purpose and to get lost in it. He has created you to worship Him. So, instead of chasing the world, devote yourself to God-realisation and to inviting other people to God.

Moses was brought up in Pharaoh’s palace but God created such conditions that his stay there could not continue. God had created Moses not to live in the palace but for a far higher purpose—to invite people to God.

So, be grateful for the seeming setbacks and problems you face in life. They may be God’s way of telling you that He has some higher purpose for you.
