Do you know your purpose in life?
Do you ever just stop and wonder, why am I here? Why did God make me? Am I living out my true purpose? I think we have all found ourselves asking this at one time or another. Some of us may find ourselves overwhelmed trying to figure it out. Others may have known since they were small. Others my have learned many different purposes in different seasons of their life. Which one are you?
For a long time, I don't think I really thought about my purpose, beyond simply trying to do my best at living, loving, and being a good example of God's love. And I've not always been awesome at those. But I believe God has more for me and more for you.
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT
We were meant for much more than to just be good. More than just doing good! He planned big things for each of us and it is our duty to step out in faith, step out of fear, and follow the path laid out for us long ago. How do we know what the path is and where it's going? I'm still working on that. A big part of figuring that out is spending time listening. Listening to what God is telling you. And looking for what God is showing you. That takes us being quiet for awhile.
I will be sharing what I learn as I refine and follow my purpose.

Do you know your purpose? What is it?
Are you following your purpose and pursuing what God has laid out for you?
