Many of us might not know the purpose why we are living but since we were not aborted, Still birth didn't took us away, what kills people didn't kill us, but still alive today serves a purpose. Brethren you are living for a purpose, go for it, know it and let the world know you're existing. But we must call on God to know his purpose concerning us because Man proposes god disposes.
