Did you know that EACH of us is "called"? When God created you and me, He created us for a PURPOSE! And like we learned in Rick Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life, it's not about US....it's about HIM.
We often settle for so much less than what God has for us in this life. Why? Could it be we lack faith? Or boldness? Maybe we limit God because we don't really believe that He wants to pour out abundant blessings on us because we don't deserve them? That part is right....we don't deserve His love, His blessings, His forgiveness, His grace. BUT CHRIST DIED that we might have these gifts. HE paid the price, so we don't have to.
May I encourage you today to search your heart and go to God in prayer (with Bible study) and ask Him to show you His purpose for you TODAY. Then, ask again tomorrow...and the next day. If we will live completely, totally, consistently for Him, He will show us one step at a time what we are to be doing day by day. He will reveal to us our purpose. It may be parenting or teaching or simply being an encourager to all those He brings into your path today. Just LISTEN to Him as He whispers direction into your heart.....
When we are in the center of His will for our lives, when we are certain that we are pursuing His purpose...then our lives will overflow with the JOY of the Lord! Be convinced that YOU are called to a life of JOY!!!
