Over the last several days I have had a few people write me with the interest in knowing what Gods will for their life was. I cant tell you what his will for your life is but I can tell you that the safest place you will ever be is in the center of his will. My whole life I was raised in church. Literally always being there from a baby until now. I can tell you there is a huge difference in your will and Gods perfect will. Even though I was raised in church a part of me always felt empty. I would search to find and seek Gods will for my life. A couple steps in seeking Gods will for your life you will find in the scriptures. Myself being a single man sometimes I think one of the greatest things in the world for me will be when I find my wife so she can serve God with me, but finding Gods will for my life there was a starting point. 1. When I realized he had purpose for me. Purpose is God given ability that we all have if we are a child of God. Myself I believe that I had to do some soul searching before I ever found out my purpose or one of my purposes in life. The bible says seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things and his righteousness shall be added unto you. There is a reason why God said, seek the kingdom first. When I was growing up as a boy I would always tell my mom that I was going to be a missionary when I was older. Now that hasnt happened yet I have had the privilege to go to foreign countries and share the gospel but starting Cans for Christ to me was when I found somewhat of my purpose or so called calling My whole life I have given, and being able to give back or help others has been something Ive always loved to do. I found more favor in serving God since Ive started that ministry do to the fact that I have seen God move in a mighty way. Now you are asking..Brandon, what is my calling? What is my purpose? See before I started Cans for Christ I had went through a very hard time in my life. We all go through hard times and some of us learn through them and some of us continue to go through them until we learn. I had been just really really down and I remember leaving church on a Sunday evening completely broken. I begin to ask God, Lord what is it you have for me. Keep in mind growing up I always knew God had bigger plans for me I just never knew what it was yet. Driving home The Lord spoke to my heart and said, There is more to being a christian than just going to church I then knew that God was about to move in my life. So through pain you can find purpose or you calling in life. Now like I said I dont know Gods will for everyones life but I do know that he loves you and cares for you and has plans for your life if you are willing to give up your will for his. Romans 8:28 is a great verse. It says, and we know that all things work together for good to them that love The Lord to them who are called according to his purpose. You have to read that a few times before you will get it. The last part of that verse says called according to his purpose or his will. It doesnt say called according to my purpose or my will. So tonight of you are laying in bed, and thinking what is Gods will for my life? Pray about it. First you will have peace about it, and then wisdom from above. Since everyone is a different age or we all come from different walks of life out situations may not always be the same. Maybe youve just came through sometime. Always try to find purpose in the middle of pain because I promise you it will be there! God loves you and he wants to use you for his glory! So what is Gods will for your life? Im not sure! Seek him with your whole heart and you will find him! When you find him ask him what it is he would have you do! Yes God can use you! Yes he does have purpose for you! This was quite long but many have asked me this question and in my own words trying to anyone I can with this question! Does God have purpose for my life. The answer is YES! Love you all. Hope this can be helpful!
