Our HR manager forwarded an email about life purpose and I took the advantage by sharing something to our officemates.

====================================================================

We don’t have to be involved in the church to serve God.  Everyday is an opportunity to realize our purpose in life. Here in our workplace, we are always dealing with people; whether they may be officemates / bosses / supervisors / clients. Each time that we deal with people and circumstances is an opportunity to grow and realize our purpose. In this industry we can share our talents and skills, and affect the people around us. We can strive to do our best and offer it to the Lord.

Here’s a thing that I learned while I was on leave last year:
Material Possessions, Power and Popularity –> all are temporary and we can’t bring them with us when we die.
People around us (even our loved ones) –> they can’t always be with us; also they can… and will disappoint us one way or another.
Ourselves –> we even fail ourselves at times because we aren’t perfect.

"In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably-or succeed more miserably." [George MacDonald]

Through God alone we can get our purpose in life. He is our creator and he knows us well.

"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me"  [John 15:4]

Yesterday morning, I was on my way to work while waiting for a bus. By the side of the main road, I saw a white butterfly. I thought it was strange to see a butterfly by the roadside since there are no trees and flowers around. But a few meters from the butterfly there was a bougainvillea plant and I said to myself; "If I could only lead that butterfly to where the plant is, it will be safe." But as soon as I thought of that, the butterfly crossed the path of a jeepney. I was trying to see if the butterfly passed safely but I only saw something white on the jeepney’s tire. I’m not sure if that was the butterfly, but I think it didn’t survive.

I don’t know if its a vision… or a premonition…
