The purpose of any object exists in the mind of the creator.

And if the object itself starts reviewing its purpose and re-defining the original purpose, it will have no place in the Creators Kingdom any more. This is a natural law, as we all know. For instance, take the case of a table. The table is first created in the mind of its creator-the carpenter. Intending a special purpose only, he designs and creates it.

When the creator's work is finished, the object will come out from his mind to form a concrete material to perceive. Then we say 'the table,' exists. Then it becomes a reality before our eyes. What is a table for? The answer itself is the purpose to which it has been created for.

The concept of the table was evolved in the mind of the creator, took form in his workshop, and placed before our eyes to serve the creator's purpose. Let us think of the table as a living object. It begins to deviate from the original purpose it was created for. Suppose a man wants to use the table but the table starts bending one of it's legs or the table top starts to form a cone shape. The man would not be able to use it. If that happens, we could think of its destiny. Then the place table would be in the astray. This logic is very simple.

Take the instance of a child going to school at the age of three. The purpose of this is for the child to learn. However, the child would not have any purpose in his or her mind. But the purpose of sending the child to the school is in the mind of the parents.

If the child could cop up with the purpose, he or she will come up well in his or her life. If the child is going against the purpose of learning and tries to redefine the purpose by his or her own self, the child would be taken out and put into some other place for a correction in order to be back to the original purpose. If this is correct, we must have awareness on the very purpose of our life. For that we have to look into the mind of the creator and His will. "Are we serving the purpose of our very life according to Him or not?" is the basic question we have before us.

Jesus healed the demon possessed boy whom the disciples could not heal. Jesus assigned the failure of the disciples to cure the boy not to Gods will, but to the disciple’s lack of faith. (Mt 17: 19-20; Mk 9:17-18). If sickness is the will of God every hospital would be against God’s will. Christ came to do the Father’s will and He healed them all ( Mt 8:16, Mk 6:55-56, Lk 4:40 ).Isaiah clearly prophesied the mission of Christ ( Is 61:1-4 ).

Will of God or the creator about human race is to leaving death behind , to achieve everlasting life as bible says.(Jn.3:16)

Are we moving in the right direction till this life? If not, we must know that only a set time is before us for correction and coming back to the original purpose. It is just like college life. You cannot extend your time your own.

Once the course is over you have to leave the campus and it won't be a place for you any more. If you serve the purpose and win well and fine, you will be honored.

The whole Bible is about that and the apostles explain it in this way.

"There are two ways, one of life and one of death and there is a great difference between the two ways." Didache 1:1

"Stop for a moment, think about it, and find out the exact place where you are standing right now, go with the original purpose of your life without redefining it on your own. The bible assures you that you will be a winner. And that is what we are all about.
