God has a purpose for our lives. A divinely designed purpose that He has given us the will to follow. When we do, He opens the doors and grants us the grace to accomplish this purpose, to His glory. However, many a time we become distracted by the activities of others, comparing ourselves to them. We need to understand that each one of us has a divine purpose and must stay focused on achieving that purpose. In John 21: 19-22, Jesus had commanded Peter to follow Him.Peter then turned around ( looking away from His commanded path) and asked about the purpose of John, the beloved, who was also tagging along. We are not told of what Jesus might have told John personally,just like He did with Peter. However, I strongly believe that the Lord's response to Peter was a rebuke, reprimanding Him for losing focus from His chosen past.
Today may we set our gaze on the purpose Jesus has given us. Let us shun comparing ourselves to others, for we do not know what the Lord has also asked them to do.
