Matthew 16:25 (NKJV) 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
So many times we receive emails from people, asking us how to know God’s purpose for their lives. As we have mentioned in the past, it’s the number one questions we get asked.
And it’s understandable that people would want to know this. After all, if we’re walking with God, we should want to know. Otherwise, we’re just spinning our wheels.
What’s amazing, though, is that knowing God’s will and purpose for you isn’t as difficult as most people would expect. It’s not as mysterious as some people think it is. Let me explain.
You see, God’s purpose isn’t like some magic line that you cross, where you’ve suddenly arrived at a destination and it all instantly becomes clear. I know that might disappoint some people, but it’s just reality.
What it is, though, is a process of letting God refine you, shape you and mold you into who He wants you to be, so He can use you as He sees fit.
It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. And the funny thing is that you might not even realize that you’re walking it out until some time has passed!
One day you just get an understanding that this is where He wants you to be and this is what He wants you to be doing!
So, starting today, let’s stop trying so hard to find His purpose for us and start putting all of our effort into seeking Him, and becoming that man or woman of God He wants us to become.
Then we will find His peace, and in the midst of that peace, as we begin walking more and more closely to Him, we will also begin walking out His purpose for us.
