If you are a Christian and you have been struggling to figure out what your purpose is, I want to break this down for you.
Purpose is not just something that you reach one day finally.
One, there is purpose in every day. Every day there is a purpose that God has placed for that day. God had a purpose for your life in a day where you didn't even know how to walk or talk.
The Bible says if we acknowledge God in all of our ways, he will direct our path whether you understand it or you don't if you ask him so you have to trust that he's doing it when it don't make sense. But I found that your purpose lies between your hottest struggles and your God-given gifts.
Whatever comes easy to you, whatever you are good at, whether it be you are good at working with your hands, you can figure something out instantly. You make people laugh.
You don't have to make people smile. You just have this charismatic personality or you are a really good listener. Whether you just know how to grieve with people, you feel people's pain. Just know how to grieve with people, you feel people's pain.
Whatever it is that you are good at, whatever comes easily and naturally to you, that's a gift. But whatever your hottest struggle is, whether it is overcoming depression, you always feel like you are defeated. You've always had a hard time feeling like you're always so unlucky or you always are losing things.
You have had to go through a lot of loss or a lot of grief. You are usually called to help people through those things. You're usually called to be an example of God's goodness through your hardest struggles.
But with that, paired with the gifts that he's given you, he can take something that looks ugly, use your gifts, pair it together, and make it beautiful.
So I don't know what you are good at or what your greatest struggle is, but I want you to take that to the Lord in prayer and say,
Lord, can you teach me how to use this gift for my purpose?
Can you teach me how to find you in the brokenness, you in the challenge, and how to find the glory that you're trying to get through it?
And I believe that God is going to reveal to you the power that he has in your life day by day. And when you look back, you will realize I have been walking in purpose this whole time because he has been leading me.
Walking in purpose this whole time because he has been leading me.
