Understanding Our Purpose

[Milliea Mckinney]

God is God and He works all things, including your life, according to his purposes. Nothing can happen without God ordaining it. Psalm 57:2 says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” This is key in understanding God’s purpose for your life.

Below is a strategy I use to help me and as it seems to work for me I feel it might be helpful to those who not only are seeking a closer relationship with God but also, a stronger deeper one that will help in developing their growth.

Turn To The Bible

God has left us with a wealth of knowledge in the Bible to help us. I’m sharing knowledge what has been revealed to me through my personal lessons in life. I must admit I don’t have all the answers, but I can point you to the source that can help you find your God given purpose.

I believe to live a life with both passion and purpose we must continue to learn who Jesus Christ is and what he says our purpose in life is.

We’re created in his image so his life reflects many character traits we should seek to live out on a daily basis.

Pray For Direction

I often meditate and pray each morning to attain peace and gain a sense of direction before I write because I have faith that my writing will touch someone else’s life and allow them to gain knowledge that changes their outlook on life.

With this task, I take on a huge burden, so I pray for the ability to articulate my words in a way that’s most helpful. As you seek your purpose, understand that each day we live is a gift and ask how to make the most of your life by living by faith and not by sight.

According to “Hope for the Heart” you should notice first that, in Ephesians 2:10 the apostle Paul says, “We are God’s handi­work created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

God calls you to a purpose — to do good works — “tailor-made” just for you. And He gifts you with all you need to accom­plish that purpose.
