As we grow up most kids have some sort of aspirations as to what they would like to be when they grow up. Most times that changes along the way. Kids have wild imagination and nowadays there’s no telling what is on the horizon of their dreams.
It used to be I want to be a fireman, or a doctor, or a pilot, maybe a race car driver, etc. But how sad is it that most children and adults as well do not stop and think,” what does God have planned for my life? He is the one who created me.
What did God create me to be?”
This should be the number one goal in every person’s life: To fulfill the purpose and plan God created us for. You see God has a specific purpose and plan for each of our lives. {Jer. 29:11-13} It is perfect and wonderful, and He has equipped us
with talents and gifts and abilities to accomplish all that this plan contains. Also in fulfilling the purpose and plan that God has for our lives we will reap the benefits and pleasures of success, and joy, peace, and fulfillment, as well as the fact that
He is collaborating and working with us to accomplish this since He designed this plan in the first place.This is truly success in life.
This is the reason most people today are working at jobs they do not like. They are filled with stress and unhappiness because they are not necessarily equipped or gifted by God to do what they’re doing.
Think about this, just because you open your heart to the Lord and say I surrender completely to your purpose and plan for my life. I want to walk it out in every detail that you desire. This does not mean you are going to be called as a preacher or
be in full-time ministry of some sort. God has called people to be airline pilots and teachers and doctors and rocket scientist and trades from every walk of life. The important thing is to realize that God created us, each one of us individually and
uniquely ourselves. What he has called all of us to do, everyone of us, is to have a personal and intimate relationship with him. Literally this is why God created us. He created the most perfect plan that would bring us the most pleasure and joy, peace and fulfillment in our lives. Why would we not want to seek Him out and know Him and walk out that perfect plan for our lives?
Everything else leaves us falling far short, full of stress and anxiety, unnecessary failures and heartache. His plan is excellent, pure, fulfilling and successful always.
The truth is God loves us and cares for us more than we can know. He is not some mean taskmaster waiting to find fault with us and punish us. God wants the very best for us. Our time here on earth is very limited, use it wisely and do not waste
any of it. What you do with this life will determined all rewards and blessings in the life to come. We are not saved through our good works or our deeds but we are rewarded for them. We are saved only through the shed blood of
Jesus and the sacrifice that he made on our behalf so we could be forgiven of our sin. The Bible describes this life is a vapor, poof and it’s gone. That is because we were created for eternity, to live forever. This life could be similar to the
“preseason football games”, which are just to see who makes the team.
Make your choices in this life carefully, wisely and prayerfully before God. He delights in showing you the way to go.{ Ps. 32:8} The Lord is always faithful and you will not be disappointed.
If you do not like the way your life is going or where you are at in your life, CHANGE IT !! You have the power to do so through God’s word and His love for you. Change your life, your circumstances and the course for your future in a glorious direction.
It is as simple as this: God I need your help, I repent of my sins and I ask Jesus to come into my heart and sit on the throne of my life. Show me your way, your purpose and plan for my life, thank you. Amen.
If you just prayed that prayer, this is just the beginning of a beautiful and eternal relationship with Almighty God. An incredible journey. Cherish it, work it, walk in His word and grow. This is not religion this is a relationship. If you see Him and draw
near to Him the Bible says that He is faithful and just and will draw close to you and reveal Himself to you. As with any relationship you get out of it what you put in. So invest yourself fully in pursuing your relationship with Jesus your creator.
