God Uses Ordinary People

Why Are We Here On Earth?

Have you ever wondered why we are suffering on Earth instead of going to Heaven immediately? I believe in Jesus Christ - why am I not brought straightaway to Heaven? Why must God let me suffer so many years on Earth before I can finally taste the sweetness of Heaven?

There is a reason for His doing so - He wants us to be the salt and light of this decaying Earth, and to save souls. We must show that we, who have God in our hearts, shine through the dullness of the Earth.

When the Bible mentions unity, it means to be the same in heart, soul and mind, devoted to one true God. We have to put aside all our differences to unite as one wherever and whenever.

As long as we live here on Earth, we should pray to be strong men and women, and not for an easy life (e.g. ask God to solve problems for us). This is so that we will grow!

And if we pray for strength to solve our problems, we should also always remember to give all our glory and honour back to God, like what John the Baptist did.

After all this growth, it is only then that we are fit enough to face God and serve Him in Heaven =)
