Living with Purpose
Have you ever wondered, “What’s my purpose?” It’s a question we all ask at some point, especially when life feels mundane or overwhelming. Here’s the good news: God created you with a unique purpose in mind. You’re not here by accident, sis. You’re here on purpose, for a purpose.
Embracing God’s Unique Plan:
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Your purpose isn’t something you need to figure out all at once. It’s revealed as you grow closer to God and obey Him. Maybe you feel stuck because you’re comparing your life to someone else’s highlight reel. Don’t fall into that trap! God’s plan for you is custom-made. It’s not about being like anyone else; it’s about being the person He designed you to be.
Your gifts, passions, and even your struggles all play a role in your purpose. Start by asking God to show you the next step, trusting that He’ll guide you one day at a time.
Walking in Purpose Daily:
Living with purpose doesn’t always mean making grand, life-changing moves. Often, it’s found in the little things: showing kindness to a stranger, praying for a friend, or stepping out in faith when God prompts you.
Think of purpose as a journey, not a destination. Each day, ask yourself, “How can I honor God with my time and talents today?” Maybe it’s spending more time in His Word or using your gifts to serve others. Living with purpose means surrendering your plans to God and trusting that He’s working all things for your good (Romans 8:28).
Key Scripture:
Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Prayer for Purpose:
Lord, thank You for creating me with a purpose. Help me to trust Your plan for my life, even when I don’t see the full picture. Guide my steps and show me how to use my gifts to glorify You. Teach me to live each day intentionally, walking in the purpose You’ve set before me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
