Creation Saturday: What is my purpose?

Saturday, May 13, 2017

5. O SON OF BEING!
Love Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant.

Baha'u'llah, The Hidden Words, Part I: From the Arabic

The Creation Saturday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 
What's your purpose?

What is my purpose? I asked myself and others this question for years without getting a satisfactory answer. I finally received a satisfactory answer, but only after I turned thirty, came to Las Vegas, and declared my belief in Baha'u'llah. These three events did not occur at the same time. I came to Las Vegas before I turned thirty, and before I heard about Baha'u'llah. After, I arrived in Las Vegas I investigated the Baha'i Faith, and then I accepted Baha'u'llah. Next I begin meditating upon the scriptures reveal by Baha'u'llah, the Bab, and 'Abdu'l-Baha. This is when I realized my purpose in this live was to know, love, and worship God while developing the spiritual attributes that would help my soul survive in the next world. I also discovered that I have the talent to write poetry.

This morning, about 10:00 AM Central Time, I took a free blogging class. I have an offsite blog with which I am attempting to make money. I have not did a good job at the money making part, so I need to do something different then what I have done up to this point. Part of the problem concerns my message which is not clear. Another issue is that I am short (way short) of 1,000 readers/subscribers. Therefore, over the next 30 days, I am going to make some changes to Poet999 - A Butterfly Emerges From Her Cocoon  . I know there are probably other problems, but I think once I have solved the issues of the message everything else will follow.
