I have yet to discover my reason for being on this earth. Everybody has a God given purpose that Is to be fullfilled before we leave this earth, right? .. provided..we seek God and his ways and not our own.
Some of us are already living out the purpose that God has placed In us to do, and have great joy because of It...for they are being a servent unto God.
Some of us know what that purpose Is yet are still waiting for God to bring It to pass. They are in line with Gods will and what God has placed In their hearts to do and are waiting expectantly and listening for God's Instructions on what step to take next.
Others of us are still aimlessly searching and asking God to direct us or show us in some way what it is. They pray and listen earnistly for Gods voice..yet they hear nothing..complete utter silence. They haven't given up or given in. They have determination and Gods grace to see them through..and every day they wake up with a new found hope..maybe today is the day God will move..and they pray and seek his face and do eveything that is asked up them and they know that every step of obedience to God Is one step closer to discovering ones purpose.
Then there are those who have given up on ever discovering what there destiny is and how it will play out. The disapointments, and set backs they have suffered In this life have caused them to shrink back and quit dreaming, hoping and believing..they would rather lie down at night never to awaken to another sun rise then to face one more day of misery on this earth.
(Just some thoughts I put down on paper awhile back)
Just looking for an excuse to say how amazing God and life are. basically these are just some random thoughts this made me think of and I'm kinda too lazy tonight to refine them so they're kinda raw and may not make much sense or seem fragmented. So indulge me anyway i guess if you would...
I think it's impossible to fully understand what God's purpose is for our life, we can learn to expand our understanding as we grow in faith, but it is soooo limited, especially in comparison to what His full plan is. I have a feeling he operates on a need to know basis, and as we grow in Him, He will reveal more.
I don't really see him as a puppet master (and i don't think you do either) but more of a dad that's lifting his toddler under the arms to help him/her walk, He guides our steps and infinitly for the better, but first we have to let him guide us and do our best to follow.
One day at a time. He's a lamp unto our feet, not a flood light that shows the whole trail. Don't worry about tomorrow, today has enough worries of it's own. so true. i love it and wouldn't want it any other way. He makes the days full meaningful manageable and just an absolute joy to be alive and living no matter what the circumstances. tomorrow's a new day and a promise to no one, what a joy when he gives it to us.
One more on Him guiding our steps: It's too easy for Him to correct us as soon as that becomes what we want. It's not easy but it feels good, and with him you also have a compass, direction, and sustainence and someone that provides for anything else we need, which He truly does and I am eternally thankful for that.
Love them or hate them I am thankful for all the people I am experiencing life with at work and elsewhere as I grow in my faith. What a blessing, to be evidence of how God is the only way you can be all you can be, and give them hope, love, and inspiration to go in that direction. God influences us, and we influence others. The choices we make on even the most seemingly microsopic level are so powerful, right now i working on understanding the impact they make.
