Seek your purpose

Greetings:
What is our purpose in life and more importantly what is our purpose in the body of Christ?
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) tells us, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.”
Nothing was an accident when it comes to our lives. I believe we were created on purpose.
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 what the Lord’s purpose for our life is.
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.”
What is the purpose for our existence? What were we created to do? God was intentional in designing us, but how can we determine what his intention was?
God had all of our days written out before we were born. None of us was a mistake. 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.
So, we might ask, what is my purpose?
That is something that only the Lord can reveal.
We must seek God in the quiet time of prayer and study of God's Word to learn our purpose.
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 sitting in the pew and just watching.
We are the feet and hands for God's work on earth. God works through people. When we begin to walk in our own God-given purpose, there will be a tangible grace or an anointing upon our life.
Pray that God reveals the purpose he has ordained for each of us. Know it, then run with it.
Be blessed.
