Knowing your purpose in life

Knowing your purpose in life

It is not hard to find out your purpose. You must push past the obstacles in life to find out what your God-given purpose is and to live it out.

Are you asking, is this all there is to life? There has to be more than this? Or this one…Why am I here?

If you are, then you need to find your purpose. You need to find what you love to do. You will know what it is because when you do, it will fill your soul, and it will not feel like work.

I know a lot of people think that everything will fall into place when you are or become a Christian. That you will automatically know what your purpose is then.

That all will be perfect in your life because you are a Christian. Let me tell you, being a Christian is not easy, and just because you turn over your life to God doesn't mean your life will be without issues.

When you know you're in the will of God, and when you have strong faith, then even in your trials, you will still be in your purpose. Even though your purpose will attract a lot of distraction, you will still stay on course. 

Let me ask you, why aren't you living out your purpose? Is it because you are afraid of criticism and opposition? What is holding you back?

Are you afraid of failure? The failures that you may have are lessons you need to learn. Don't be afraid. We have all failed, but it's what we learned from it and how it makes us grow and become tougher than before.

When troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy, for you will know that your faith has been tested and your endurance has a chance to grow. I remember when things were perfect, when I got divorced. I was filled with peace and joy, I was strong in my faith, knowing my purpose and God, when yet again the rug was ripped out from under me.

I didn't let it get me down. In the midst of my pain, I prayed. I was grateful for what I had. I knew that God was there for me, and I knew that this was just a lesson that I needed to learn.

So let your faith grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, it is then you will be perfect and complete. 

Don't be afraid that people will talk about you, whether it's true or not. I put my whole life out there for the world to judge. I know people will say some horrible things about me and have said it right on my blog page, but I know this is my purpose and I will continue to do this, so go ahead and talk.

Walk with your head held high. This is your purpose. This is your faith walk, not anyone else's. To fulfill your purpose in life, you must believe, that's it! It's that simple. Believe that it is the will of God. Believe that you will follow and believe in your heart that this is your gift. God has chosen you to give it to you, and you need to nurture it, care for it, and make it the best gift you have ever received because it is!

I know this is my gift because when I write, I am lost. I can write for hours, I don't need food, I don't hear what's going on around me. I am in my zone, and this is my purpose. It doesn't feel like work. It flows. It is my calling. When you realize that, you will know you are walking in your purpose. You will have a sense of peace and joy like you have never felt before. 

So today, my friends, reach down deep, find what you do best with the least amount of effort, that my friend, is your purpose. Now go after it! Live your life with purpose!
