The Purpose of man

short poem on the quest for purpose

The purpose of a man is not his own choice,
he can’t find the answer on his own.
First he must listen to the still small voice
and allow his path to be shown.

No one can tell him ”this you must do,
and this is what you shall be”.
That only can come from the Lord above
as He opens his heart to see.

Mistakes will be made, wrong turns taken
and this is a part of the quest,
but if he remains with faith not shaken
he surely will see God’s best.

What is his purpose and why was he made
are questions that were not his own,
For that was a yearning placed deep in his heart
that the depth of Gods love would be known.
