Purpose

We all have a purpose.  That purpose is unique to you.  It may look different than mine, or anyone else’s. Actually, we can probably guarantee that.  Why? Because God made each of us unique.  We have different characteristics.  We look different.  We sound different.  We are just different.  And that is a good thing.
I see so many times people trying to be someone they weren’t meant to be. They are striving for something yet they aren’t happy.  That doesn’t seem like it would be your destiny. Mind you, it isn’t always easy getting to that place we feel is our purpose. It takes commitment, sacrifice, perseverance, and hard work. But it is so fulfilling and rewarding when we have reached that purpose.
How do you know what your purpose is?  I believe that is something the Lord Jesus births in us. But it may take time to realize what it is.
For me I knew at a young age I wanted to be a nurse. I worked hard to achieve that goal. But I knew that wasn’t my only purpose.  I knew I was to be a godly wife to my husband and a mother who raised my son, along with my husband, to love God and serve Him.
Sometimes I think we feel we have come up short with our purpose. But we must remember God made us with a purpose, and if we trust Him and follow Him, He will make our lives complete.
When I had to stop working it broke my heart.  I loved being a nurse, and I truly loved my job. But physically I could no longer do the work in an excellent manor. And that was the only way I wanted to do my job. With excellence.  Even though that era came to an end I still had a purpose.  Being a godly wife, and a loving mother. That will never change. And God continues to add to that. I have a beautiful daughter in law that I love dearly, and am so proud of her. And someday maybe I will have grandchildren to impart life’s  lessons into.
You see, we have purpose. And that never ends. It may change a bit as we go through life, but it never ends. God has a calling in all of our lives.  It may be hard at times, but He will always guide you and help you along the way.
Don’t give up. Don’t ever let someone tell you that you aren’t important, or you aren’t worth anything, or that you cannot achieve your goals. You ARE worth it.  You ARE important.  You DO have a purpose.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭ESV‬‬
God has created you for His purpose.  And has given you purpose.   Faithful readers, you are loved by God and He will lead you to that purpose.
