What is my purpose?

Have I lost my purpose? The first question I must ask myself is what is my purpose? I believe that the Lord has called me to speak to the heart s of the young and old and instill truth into their lives. I would do this through the gift the Lord has given me which is speaking. However, am I even living what I am called to tell others to do? The answer is sadly no. Why is that? Well, it is mostly because I stopped believing that I can do such a thing, and the truth is I cannot do it, it is going to have to the Lord working through me. It is funny how things boil down to faith. As Christians do we really believe that Jesus is who He says He is and that He will do what He said He will do? As I look at Hebrews 11 I see that Moses and Abraham had faith to believe that God was going to deliever, and even though they never saw the outcome they still believed.

 

My purpose in this life is to be a disciple to Christ, and I believe that is everyone’s main purpose, but how has God equipped up to be better at serving Him? For me I know I have dropped the ball several times. I miss quiet times because I think I can do a better job running my life! I don’t like to be wrong and the scripture is yelling at me that I am wrong. My Pride is hurt so I stop. But, when I do read the Word, I am energized. I want to point to myself and say “If only I was more disciplined! I will work harder on that! I need to do more!” That is sinful thinking! I am looking to myself to get over it instead of Christ. I am not able to do anything! In order for those things to be changed the only thing I have to do is cry out to God for faith to believe that He is going to make this happen. Once I turn my heart towards Him, there is no more “I.” It is all Him!!! If I ever want to get to a place where the Lord uses me in ways I cannot even imagine my faith is going to have to increase, and by the Lord’s strength and a heart change to submit to that is going to have to happen.

 

So, what is the plan? Well, the plan is this; to ask and believe that the Lord can give me a new heart! A heart that is passionate for Him! A heart that is willing to listen to the Lord’s voice and take the things that He says seriously.
