Do you know your purpose in life? Do you know that your actions affect eternity? It seems too often that I forget that. Honestly sometimes I don't even think about purpose - I'm just here doing my own thing. God has bigger plans for all of us and wants us to be eternally motivated. He wants us to seek Him and involve Him in all that we do - the small and the big! He wants us to use our abilities and talents he has given us. We may not be the next Joyce Myer or Marilyn Hickey but we can have an impact on the lives that we come in contact with.
As I was proof-reading this I thought "what is my purpose". I heard "raising your children up with God". Wow. And I thought I just changed diapers, read books and fed them. Okay, I didn't really think that was my only purpose but sometimes I get so caught up in the day to day stuff that I forget that I have a greater purpose. That probably is the cause of depression for a lot of us. We get so focused on how we feel and forget to look at what we are here for.
Today let's pray for a renewed sense of purpose. If you are at a place where you understand your purpose, then intercede for someone that is struggling with this.
Dear God, I love you so much. I am thankful for all that you have given me. Forgive me for not always remembering my purpose and the bigger picture. The Bible says that we will do things that your son Jesus did, and even greater things. I know you have given me abilities and talents and I want to use all that I have for you! I want to fulfill your purpose for me and I want to hear "well done, my good and faithful servant" when I see you face to face. Show me the steps I need to take. I trust you with all my heart and I will not lean on my own understanding. I pray that the Holy Spirit reminds me to see you in everything. And I pray that I am reminded daily that I am hear as Christ's ambassador. In Jesus name, Amen.
