Knowing Your Purpose
There is just so much that I can say about how and why my mind has drawn me to this topic. I remember vividly going to sleep last night and the thoughts came rushing to my mind. It had been immediately after I had finished my nightly devotional prayer with God above. I was faintly sleeping but then this message poured out into my spirit.
Have you ever thought of what makes you who you are and what is in store for you in your life?
As people gifted in this world, we are built to serve a unique purpose in our lives. What is planned for you has been thought of long before we were formed inside our mother’s wombs. We were hand crafted by God in heaven as He chose us and gave us a purpose to live out. As people we need to know what our own purpose is for each of us.
The talents and gifts that we have are what God knows we can use to bring success to us. He gave us these skills because He knew the power we hold when we put them to use. He knew that when we put our all into what makes us who we are, our passion for life stands strong. We grow stronger in Him because of what He has and continues to bless us with.
As people, it is our job in our lives to know what we want to do and what we are passionate about. The small talents you think are mediocre can be some of the things that will continue to be a blessing in your life and bring more blessings to your life. If you stay committed to those talents and skills, God will use you in ways you would have never expected.
So I bring these questions back to you, What makes you who you are and what is in store for you in your life?
In your own time of reflection, you should meditate on this. Ponder over what you know yourself to be and what you know makes you happy. This is your life to live and you don’t want to live a wasted life. When opportunities strike and doors open for you, walk through those doors confidently knowing that this is meant for you.
Many times, we contemplate on what makes us happy and what we truly enjoy doing. Don’t live your life in a boring job that you know you only do because you have bills to pay and things to handle. You should find a job or career on what you truly enjoy and are passionate about.
I remember for me how hard it was to make decisions on what I wanted to do in this life I have. I knew I wanted to certainly make an impact but didn’t know where my impact would land. I often felt very indecisive until I came to terms with how passionate I was about communication, writing and working with youth. Now I find myself living life that is not so stressful. I am happy where I am today and cannot begin to think of the countless blessings that have come my way knowing I’m in an area of my life where I can truly explore and enjoy the talents and gifts that I have been given.
Some people can handle working in offices or even in hospitals but others know that their unique craft is not in those areas and buildings. As individuals you need to explore all areas of YOU! You need to be able to find what works for you and what you know you are great at.
Don’t be afraid of how small your skill may be. Embrace it, for surely God has given you something He knows you will use MIGHTLY! So to my ERS, don’t lose your talents and gifts. Expand on them and with God’s direction, He will surely bring blessings and success upon you!
