The Westminster Shorter Catechism identifies "the chief end of man is to glorify the Lord and enjoy Him forever. "
Pondering "my purpose" these few weeks was an exploration of thoughts that went down many trails.
This morning, the Lord helped me condense my whirring thoughts as I applied my moisturizer.
Purpose ®, no less.
A closer look showed me it had a dual purpose---which it took me a while to figure out. 1) Long lasting moisture prevents long -lasting dehydration. For me the One who is the "living water" keeps me hydrated eternally. (John 4: 14)

2) Provides protection from sun exposure. My protection is lots of exposure to the Son of God. Just like Purpose ®, my purpose is dual as well. Pleasing God is my purpose with two components;to love God and to serve others well!
May my choice please Him.
"May He be pleased by all these thoughts about Him, for He is the source of all my joy." (Psalm 104: 34 (TLB)
