2 What We Are Made For With Sarah Frigon


Listen Later

Today we have our very first guest here with us as we talk about what we are made for. In order to answer that question we have to start wide and narrow in. So first we need to understand where we are coming from and to where we are going. 


The answer to both is God. We come from God and we are living our lives to get back to Him in heaven. From this wide angle we can put into perspective all of the things. 


We can see what we are made for from this perspective. There are many answers here and we spoke about 3 in particular. 


  1. We are made for relationship - daughter, friend, wife, mother

There are 4 fundamental relationships that man has, between man and God, between man and himself, between man and other men, and between man and the earth. These are fundamental to who we are as humans. 


  1. We are made for beauty - especially as women, the crown of creation we emulate beauty to the world and to men. Beauty is all around us in this world and women have a great gift to be able to recognize it, make it flourish, and cultivate it in many areas. 


  1. We are made for service - not “submissive” in the societal way that is assumed today, but always aiming to give of ourselves and putting others first like Christ at the last supper. Christ shows us that it is not weak to serve, in face it is the role of each of us. No one is above it. 


All of these things are great to recognize, and it can be beautiful to hear about the plan of God from this perspective, but we live in a fallen world. What do we do when “reality” seems so far from this? How do we strive to live out this truth when no one else is? Simply don’t give up or give in. Often the easy way out is consists of sin or falling short of the truth. Don’t take the easy way out. It sounds easy enough, but in reality it is not. But take heart, Christ has conquered the world.
