A Shout to the Void

How do you find your unique purpose or God’s ultimate will for your life in a world populated with different ideals, different missions and visions, different identities in one person, different attitudes, virtues and characters, different cultures and traditions, different kinds of people. How do you find yourself among all of these? Who are you and how do you suppose to make a change, how do you plan to make them hear your voice, know your principles and everything? Many have tried and are still trying to make a difference and I think they just don’t get the point. We are different from each other, incredibly unique in God’s own perspective, and for me that’s the whole difference. We don’t need to make a name for ourselves because even before our mother gave birth to us we already have a name in their minds. And even before all of that, God has already chosen the names of those two people- our parents. We don’t need to make people know us, what we do, what we eat, where we live, what we watch and who our friends are. Let them know you without making them know you. Brandishing yourself on social medias and blogging sites won’t make you find yourself, you’ll just end up looking at the mirror to find that you are who everyone wants you to be and not the one God wants you to be. So at the end of the day, you’ll have no sense of purpose, still lost in the identity of your friends views. The sad fact is, you have no idea that you are not who you are. We’re all lost in this techy world of ours. It’s eating us like a termite happily enjoying its steak of 12-zeroes dollars. We talk to strangers, we get killed the next day. We leave our social accounts open, the next thing we know we’ll be posting shits about everything, or worst, our hidden secrets will be known to everyone. We chat with a friend, we fall in love the next day and we break up the next next day. Truth is, there’s really no personal emotion involved in here, only audios on speakers and visuals on monitors. We, the netizens will pry on every bit of showbiz chikkas and political dramas, give our opinions, try to make a voice out of a text, and at the end of the day, everything  isn’t enough to make a history. Knowing who you are is a continuous process, like learning. But for me,  its something even more. It’s having an unrelenting faith, like trusting God to teach you how, tell you why and direct you where. After all, whether you like it or not, God still has the last say of who you will be.
