Greetings:
I believe we all were created on purpose. Nothing was an accident when it comes to our lives. Long before we were ever born, God saw us, knew us, and choose us.
Though we may have some wonderful plans for our own life, it is of utmost importance that we find out The Lord’s purpose for our life.
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) tells us, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.”
The word purpose is a noun and in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary it is defined as: “The reason why something is done or used; the aim or intention of something; the feeling of being determined to do or achieve something; the aim or goal of a person; what a person is trying to do, become.”
We all need to talk to The Lord about our individual purpose. God wants us to discover our purpose even more than we do. Our purpose isn’t just about us. It’s about what God wants to do through us. It’s about touching and blessing the lives of others. Our purpose matters.
It’s possible that we might know at least part of what we were created to do, but that we still may feel like a piece of the puzzle is missing.
Psalm 139:15-16 says, “My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be”
God had all of our days written out before we were born. None of us were a mistake or an accident. We haven’t been placed on this earth by chance. Where and when we were born, the parents God gave us, our personality, and everything else about us was orchestrated by God for a specific purpose.
Some people would like advice us what this purpose for our life is, but only the Lord can reveal our purpose to us. Seek God in the quiet time of prayer and study of God's Word to learn it.
We each have a role, a purpose in God's ministry. As Christians, none of us should be satisfied to simply be a spectator, content with coming to church on Sunday morning and just watching.
We are the feet and hands of God's work on earth. When we begin to walk in our God-given purpose, there will be a tangible grace or an anointing upon our life.
Our purpose is one of action. We can pray and pray for the needy in our community to be blessed, but unless we move and act to help them, feed them, comfort them and feed their spiritual hunger, little will change on its own.
Our purpose is woven into the very fabric of our existence. It is the theme of our life. It is expressed in our passions, our desires, our dreams, gifts, talents, and our vision for the future.
If we never fulfill our purpose, there will always be a deep sense of dissatisfaction in our heart. Pray that God reveals the purpose he has ordained for each of us. Know it, then run with it.
Be blessed.
