Your purpose fuels a great life!

It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone. -Ephesians 1:11-12
 
What is your purpose? 

What exactly are you on this earth to do?  Why did God create you?  You may have asked yourself these questions or maybe someone has asked you and you stood there like….”UH, I am not exactly sure”. 

Right now let's check-in on your mindset about 'your purpose'.
  • First, in this scripture we see God had His eye on you long before you knew Him.  
  • Second, long before you ever heard of Jesus Christ, God had His eye on you.  This means that His design for your life; the path for you; was already determined and laid out.  Wow!  That is simply amazing!
  • Third, God has prepared in advance ‘glorious living’ for you which means you were chosen to live good and be good. 
  • Fourth, He has done this because you are a part of God's body.
The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of
Christ.
-1 Corinthians 12:12
Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part.  If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. -1 Corinthians 12:14
But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. -1 Corinthians 12:18-19

Simply put, you are "...part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone..."

The questions for you are:
  • 1) Have you accepted this truth?
  • 2) Are you following your hearts unique design that God gave you; OR are you being who others told you to be; OR what your circumstances are forcing you to be?
  • 3) Do you believe God wants to use you to make a difference in the world. 

I love this quote by Pastor Rick Warren:
What matters is not the duration of your life but the donation of it.  Not how long you lived, but how you lived. -Pastor Rick Warren

It is our prayer for you today that as you stay in God's Word, He will reveal to your heart, (if He hasn't already), your purpose.  We pray God's strength in you as He trains you for this 'designed purpose'.

Your life matters in the body!  God is ready to use you for the building up of the Kingdom. 

Until next time, live in peace!
