Searching Purpose.........Of My Life

One day I asked myself,
I have enough to eat, Good to wear,
excellent home to live in.
I have wonderful friends,
who help me, chase me, comfort me,
I have caring parent, loving brothers and sisters,
But still I am missing something......
I couldn't slept whole night.
searching the answer of my question
What I am loosing
I got my answer in the morning.
I am not getting the purpose of my life
I asked myself. what type of purpose I am looking for?
Am I living a purposeless life?
I realized that having everything is not enough
I am living my life my own way........
Then what is the need of a purpose?
i  tried to figure out what I am lacking?
I am lacking peace, I am lacking the real joy.
Living life for our own happiness is not true........
then what for should I live?
then what should I do to achieve the purpose of my life?
I asked all my dearly ones.
i was not satisfied by their answers........
In the end I asked God.........
O Lord! teach me the purpose of my life
I no longer want to live my life my way.
days passed by, months passed by...
I prayed and prayed and prayed regularly
I waited for the answer to come.
One day in the noon, God spoke to me
My child, you are my beloved one.
I have created you for my purpose
Live your life my way.
You will find peace, joy...
I said, Dear Father! I love you.
take my life and drive it according to your way.
I am a broken vessel.
mould me , guide me, make me whatever you want
I want to live my life your way
Its only you where my soul will find rest.
Its only you where my heart will find solace.

Amen.
