Have you ever felt as if you have lost your way? Your purpose? I believe that on this crazy roller coaster called life, at one time or another, we all feel that way. I know I have.
We have been given a purpose. A beautiful story to fulfill. In "Ephesians 1 starting at verse 4, the scripture boldly proclaims, "For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight." But then goes on to say, 5"In love He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will." Now that's exciting!!
Do you understand what that means? Before the beginning of time, God has a plan for your life. He loved you before anything came to be. I can relate that may be quite difficult to wrap your mind around. To conceive the very thought that it is truth. I am here to say, without a shadow of a doubt, to proclaim those scriptures and that unconditional love to be as real as the living tissue upon my bones. The very breath within my lungs is the Freedom, Grace, and Mercy that I breathe each day I awake. "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding..." (Philippians 4:7) fills my mind as I lay my head upon my pillow to sleep.
Rest in the knowledge that He has a plan for you. More than likely you are already walking out that plan and perhaps may not feel the excitement, motivation, or challenge as when you first began. More so, even stale. Though the valleys may run deep and the mountains so high, it is in those valleys that we find rivers to quench our thirst. Soft grasses beneath our feet and a place to rest our head. In every area of our life's journey, He is there. Call upon His name. He surely will answer. Trust and take Him at His Word. It is the bread of life to which we eat and grow from.
