So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 Purpose – The last month or so I’ve been examining the reason I do things. Drawing a circle putting all the things I thought gave me purpose in the circle and the things in my life that didn’t outside. Not a smart move – I started to second guess and in my humanness question why I do things. I began with the thought my purpose is simple – ‘to glorify GOD in all I do’ – But immediately came the thought ‘Really?? Am I really that selfless?’ Isn’t there a hint of hypocrisy there, isn’t the desire to be seen as a godly woman wrapped up in there? Isn’t the desire of acceptance in there as well?” I closed my eyes as shame flooded my mind but in that same instant the words of this song came to mind: You stood before my failure, and carried the cross for my shame, my sin weighed upon your shoulders, my soul now does stand. So what can I say? What can I do? But offer this heart, oh GOD Completely to You YES! I thought Jesus became my purpose when I gave my life to Him, He gave His life and took my sin changing the direction of my life. My flesh is sinful and there will be times of doubt but because God came to earth those doubts are replaced with the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ! For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 What started as self-examination quickly became an accusation but became reassurance because Jesus knows and understands our doubts. He is aware of our frailty and it is in His strength that gives us what we lack. And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6 The desire to live a life that glorifies God; I can’t think of a better perspective, a better focus; a better purpose! I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me. Psalm 57:2 youtu.be/kV5iZBTNYrk
