You never know if the life that you save and show mercy to will one day be used for God's divine purpose. God bless you and all the gang members who have this power to show mercy instead of taking a life. Your Mom and Dad will be proud of you.

That is your divine purpose in life. 

No matter what you are doing in your life, whether you are a student in school, then it is your purpose to be the very best student that you can possibly be.

If you are a laborer digging ditches, it is your purpose to be the best at digging ditches.

If you are a parent, a teacher, a fireman, a police officer, or just a teenager, it is your purpose to be the best that you can be.

It is not about the position that you hold in life that matters to God, it is about using your ability and your position in life to be a blessing to others.

To encourage and bring out the best in other people.

Your purpose in life is...

To see Jesus in everything that you do and with everybody that you meet.

Because it is your divine purpose in your life to glorify God in everything that you say and do.

It is your purpose to show mercy, grace and forgivenss to those who have hurt you.

It is your purpose to pray for others so that God will shape their hearts so that they can be a blessing to God and to you so that you can praise God for this miracle from above.

Remember it is not a matter of "if we will ever stand before God on judgment day." 

It is a matter of when?

And when that day comes and it will come much sooner than we think.

It all comes down to knowing our purpose in life and did we run from it or did we embrace it?

On Judgment day,

God will ask each one of us a simple question...

Did we treat others with mercy that my Son Jesus sent you?

Did you care if all others would go to Heaven too?

"God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy"  (Matthew 5:7) 

God believes in you
