Enjoying Your Purpose

As we near the end of our journey together, I do hope you've considered this time well spent. I pray you have been able to see God and His plan more clearly. You know what it takes to Pursue, Understand, Respond, Prepare, manuever Obstacles and Share your unique purpose, so that your life here on earth will be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable/pleasing to God (Romans 12:1). That your life will be spent allowing God to work in and through you to lead others to the saving knowledge of His Son. That your life, with all its ups and downs; pains and sorrows; good times and bad; victories and defeats; challenges and craziness - will utimately be lived for one purpose - to bring glory to God. So that one day you'll stand before Him and hear - "Well done, good and faithful servant. Come share in your master's happiness." ~Matthew 25:21

I realize some of you may still be waiting for God to reveal His vision and plan to you. You may feel He overlooked you when He was giving out assignments. Not the case! Remember, He uses all of us at different times, with different people, and in different ways. Don't give up on God - He hasn't given up on you! As you've learned, use this time to develop your love relationship with Him, your character and your patience :) Listen to your heart. God will use your passions to lead you where He wants you to go, when He wants you to go and what He wants you to do once you get there! Trust that He loves you and wants the very best for you.

So whether you are currently waiting for God to show you the next step along His path or you are actively fulfilling His plan and vision, this final section will look at how you are to be enjoying your purpose. That's the thrill of doing and being in God's will - you enjoy your life and the activities/ministries you're involved in. You see His hand at work around you and marvel at how He chose you to come along side Him to complete His purposes throughout the world.

Next time....Evidence
