Purpose

 

So many of us are seeking & praying for our purpose in life. That one thing that God has called us to do; the thing He has gifted us to do. With life & everything that’s going on, it’s no wonder what God is trying to reveal to us can get lost within the “crowd”. This is why continual prayer, time with God, & getting into His word are so imperative.

During my seeking & praying, I began to see how “What is my purpose?” has become a desire for so many. I decided to look up “purpose” in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary & the following definitions were provided: “1) the reason why something is done or used : the aim or intention of something, 2) the feeling of being determined to do or achieve something, and 3) the aim or goal of a person : what a person is trying to do, become, etc.”

For each of these definitions, I added “in God” at the end. For instance, “The aim or goal of a person; what a person is trying to do or become in God.” It does bring a new awareness to purpose & what we are seeking, but all of these things can be done in God. Without His guidance & direction, our purpose wouldn’t have his stamp of approval.

I, too, am one who’s looking for & praying for what God has called me to do; a lot of times, He’s told us what to do & we have to “just do it”, by stepping out on faith. For many, this faith can even be mustard seed faith—it’s the only faith that’s carried many through most of the toughest days. Thanking God for the power of mustard seed faith.

Continue to pray & seek God for your purpose in life. He’ll reveal this to all of us; we must be ready to believe, receive, & act on this IN GOD.

Until next time.

Blessings,

Purpose

The past few weeks or so have definitely been challenging work-wise. There are a lot of changes going on, but change in inevitable, right? Through these challenges, I’m continuing to count blessings, no matter what.

This has also gotten me to think & to focus on God & what He’s doing, all He has done, & what’s on the way. I think that God allows us to go through various things in order for us to be reminded of Him & how far we’ve come. I also think that, at times, this can be a reality check for us to see the direction we want to go in & what we’re trying to do in our futures–a reality check on our purpose & if we’re walking in it.

Some of what has been occurring in my life recently is a true reminder about living in the purpose God has for me. For instance, what do I continue to put on the “back burner” for later? Who do I need to contact? What am I waiting on? What am I doing to make things happen? For as we all know, time is precious & we can’t get it back.

I challenge you to do an evaluation of where you are & where you’re trying to go. Are you taking the steps to get there? Are you on the track to achieving that dream you always wanted to or are you waiting for the right time? (Which could be right now, by the way)

I definitely want to walk in the purpose God has for me & in the gifts that He’s instilled in me. I thank God for the challenges He has placed before me because it has been an eye-opening experience regarding using my gifts & not sitting back on what He has called me to do.

Don’t waste your gifts or the time it will take for you to achieve them; time is of the essence & God wants us to use it to the fullest!

Until next time.
