Finding your purpose in life!

Many of us long to know what we are here on earth for. What is it that
we are tasked to accomplish in life and when do we start. It is not a
self-centered purpose, I’ll tell you that! In my own opinion our
purpose is to use the spiritual and physical gifts along with our
talents to bring others to Christ.(Eph 4:11-15, Romans 12:3-8, 1 Peter
4:8-11). Most importantly it is reiterated several times that we are
to love one another.(1 John 4:7-21, 1 Corinthians 13…the whole New
Testament lol!) So combining the gifts and talents you have with the
love of God you can only do GREAT things!

For example, I know that I give, help, discern, seek knowledge and
study, teach and I believe have a call for either evangelism or
ministry. Because I know the above I know I am going to be working in
some way to help others and get them to Christ. Everyone knows I
desperately want to go back to school for counseling and will probably
work on it in a church. Combining that with the love I now have from
God, I will use my gifts that I recognize and will receive to draw
others to Christ through ministering to their needs.

Yes we are to live life and have joy(1 Thess 5:17) but we always have
a purpose! Live life with that God kind of love that can forgive
anything and keep on loving until your purpose is fulfilled!! Trust
that it’s all going to work out! (Romans 8:28)

I love you and I’m here always!

Keep the Faith

Hey!

Be blessed today and don’t lose sight of the goal! For in Matthew
11:28-30 Jesus says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Knowing this reassures me that I can make it because I can give
everything to Jesus when it gets too hard. When deadlines at work are
bearing down on you and people are aggravating you, take a second and
rest easy because Jesus has your back! Ask anything in His name
because Jesus seeks to bring glory to our heavenly father(John 14:3)!
Ask for strength, because you can do all things through Christ who
strengthens you! (Philippians 4:13). Ask for wisdom, because in James
1:5 the Bible says “If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask
of the giving God who gives to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly,
without reproaching or fault-finding, and it will be given him.” Ask
for guidance–Isaiah 58:11 tells us that the Lord will guide us
continually!

Be encouraged and rest assured because you are blessed! “What, then,
shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be
against us?…No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us.” Romans 8:31-39
