We've come a long way together over the past months! Are you still walking and standing strong along God's path for His purposes? As a quick review, we began this adventure by pursuing what God's purposes were for all of us. Then we looked specifically at understanding how God made us special - with unique gifts, abilities, talents, personalities and experiences. Next it was up to you to make the choice as to which path you were going to follow - your's or God's? It was then time to respond and prepare yourself for the great and awesome things God has in store for you. But like any path, there will be obstacles that may deter you from your goal. You must know how to manuever them and get back on track so you can finish your journey and fulfill God's vision for you and your life.
Your next step now is to identify where and how you can share your purpose. Over the next few weeks, we'll look at five areas where you can put your purpose into action. Don't worry if things are still not crystal clear. Obey God in the little things along the way. Trust Him to show you where He wants to use you as a vessel for Him to love and minister through. Be available to whatever and where-ever He leads. Remember, God's guidance is more like a lamp unto your feet (Psalm 119:105) than a lighthouse beaming far into the future! Your path is lit by a flashlight, not a spotlight.
Let's end today looking at a quote from Tom Paterson, author of Living the Life You Were Meant to Live...."The purpose for your life is to put your God-given gifts to work for good in your generation and in your sphere of influence. In putting your giftedness to work for God's purposes, and in moving from self-centeredness to Christ-centeredness, you will experience a radiant, totally alive life!"
Next Time.....Sharing Your Purpose by Loving Others
