CREATED FOR PURPOSE

"Purpose is what gives life meaning" Charles H. Perkhurst

Have you ever wondered about your purpose in life?
Why you were born?
What dream or vision is calling out to you?
Where you are called to make a difference?
These are questions we all struggle or wrestle with from time to time.

For myself, I really want to know God's will and purpose in and for my life.
I don't want to miss it.........not even by a tiny margin. Perhaps you're in that zone of exploration now--asking, seeking, praying, discerning, and inviting counsel from godly friends. Sometimes when we want an answer "RIGHT NOW" it can lead to doubt, fear, and more confusion. It's an uncomfortable position to be in as many others will tell you. But you have to guard against making hasty or impulsive decisions without prayer, trust, and waiting for God's revelation. Believe me, it's worth the wait!

3 SIMPLE STEPS FOR FINDING YOUR PURPOSE:

#1 Know that you have a purpose

Jer.29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

The word of God tells us we are fearfully, wonderfully made. You have value, significance and worth in the eyes of God. After all, He made you in his image and likeness and created you to have an intimate relationship with Him.

#2 Pray

Matt.7:7 "Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

God wants you to pray and seek his will. He plants His desires deep in your heart and spirit. He gives you certain talents, abilities, skills, character traits and gifts that can lead and draw you toward His divine plan for your life.

#3 Read and Meditate on the Word of God

Ps.119:130 "The unfolding of His words gives light."

His words are LIFE! Each day as you immerse yourself in the Word of God, his Spirit, living within you will lead and guide you in the way of wisdom and discernment.

Prov.4:4 "Lay hold of my words with all your heart."
Ps.119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path."

God has a divine design and purpose for your life. It is uniquely tailored just for you. So trust Him and believe that He is working all things according to your good. His will and purpose for your life is being revealed to you in His Spirit.
Enjoy the time and process of discovery...it is a time of Grace.
