Finding Purpose

Perhaps you wonder, ‘What am I supposed to do with my life? What’s my purpose here?’ ​ T​hese questions​ are answered​ through our abilities. We discover our life’s purpose through the skills and talents we’ve been blessed with.

God-given gifts are the skills a person easily performs, often without formal training. We derive great pleasure from doing what we’re naturally good at doing. So if you aren't sure of your life’s purpose, just do what you do well and watch God confirm it by blessing your
endeavours. 

Don’t spend your time trying to do what you’re not gifted to do, or what somebody else is good at. We know we’re operating in our gifts and purpose when our actions ministers life to others. If what we do makes us miserable and fills us with a sense of dread, usually we’re not in God’s perfect will. He gives us peace and joy to let us know we’re fulfilling His perfect plan: ‘For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace.’ Look at what you enjoy, what you’re good at, and what God is giving you the grace to do—then let God be God in your life. 

He wants to flow through you, and it may not be in the same way as He flows through others. Trust His ability in and through you, and don’t be afraid to be unique. God has a specific place and a specific plan for each of us. How will you know you’re in the right place fulfilling His plan? You will have peace!

​Quote- ​“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.”- Mohammed Ali
