181 Practical Steps to Identify Your Unique Purpose
Ingrained in each one of us is the desire for purpose. We long for our lives to have meaning and intention. Maybe you've questioned, like I have, why you're on this earth and why God made you in the first place. Or maybe you're wondering these now, today. Allow me to first say, you're not alone and your not weird for wondering. I fully believe God wired us this way, maybe quite possibly, to seek Him in our unique purpose.
What is a calling, anyway?
We hear of people talking about their God-given calling or God's calling on their lives. If we don't know what that is, or even if we have one, we might begin to believe all sorts of scenarios, including maybe we're just not special enough to be granted a calling from God. Believe me, I've been there and know that belief all too well.
I share about a time in my life when I was unsure about my purpose. I actually write about it in Chapter 2 of my book, Right Now Matters, titled "There's God to Be More." God, over time revealed to me my unique purpose. I'm still walking in it today.
I don’t have all the answers and never will, but I’ve learned that when we trust God and take small steps of faith, He reveals more of His plan as we go. Through my years of experience in walking in this calling, however, I've learned a few things along the way.
I share practical steps to identify your unique purpose and calling.
Ephesians 2:10 NLT says, "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." Amen. Friend, I am cheering you on and praying for you this week as you seek God and His unique purpose for your life. Thanks for tuning in. God bless you!

171. The Truth About God and Our Discomfort
Переглядів 72 місяці тому
I got to thinking the other day of the many lies people believe about God and our discomfort. Lies such as, God doesn't want me to be uncomfortable. Since I'm a Christian, doesn't that mean my life will be easy and comfortable? A comfortable life is a godly life. Have you ever heard someone say these or have you thought them yourself? I have, before I knew better. As in last week's episode, I s...

What do you do when discomfort makes you uncomfortable? Discomfort. I'm venturing to say it's no one's favorite word. In fact, Dictionary.com defines the noun discomfort as, an absence of comfort or ease; uneasiness, hardship, or mild pain or anything that is disturbing to or interferes with comfort. Thesaurus.com adds the synonyms of trouble, unpleasantness, and annoyance. Yeah, no one likes d...
