I write a lot about purpose because I believe that true purpose is not our will but doing the will of God. For He created us for His purpose and to play a role in His Grand plan. Today the Holy Spirit lead me to John 6. When the people who had been fed by bread and fish came searching for Jesus, they had a powerful session. Jesus told them that they were searching because He had filled this longing need, a taste of heaven. Jesus had touched something in them that they could not explain but knew that it was necessary.
Pay attention to v.28 &29. The people ask what they must do to do God's works. Or to do their purpose. Jesus said believe in me. Then Jesus continues with His famous sermon. He is the bread of heaven and He was sent to do the Father's will. Whoever works for food that endures, whoever believes that He was sent by the Father will not lack anything and will not be driven away. I see a promise here, that as long as I invest time, energy, and resources for God...therein my purpose will be revealed in Christ. The only requirement is simple = believe in the Son of God. The promise is that there's nothing I can do or not do that will separate me from Jesus. He will never drive me away...or like God's promise..He will never forsake me.
How amazing that we have a Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit who invite us into this heavenly romance and we are free to come...and we'll NEVER BE REJECTED!!!! Where we can blossom and grow in Christ. That's awesome covering right there :o) Jesus is here preaching about welcoming everyone to the safety of His covering and at the end...they up and leave. Typical. He offers we reject and sin. But He still maintains His offer even to our last day. A God who was rejected but still chose to die for all because He LOVES US! My desire is to be worthy of such love, to praise Him for such Love, to trust always no matter the circumstance in such Love and promise.
God Bless!!!!

My Calling
I've searched and sought, prayed and been prayed on, fasted cried, taken blind leaps of Faith, failed, believed and hoped...till this day when my Father, my Lover showed me that He's been weaving the story. That all happened for this day, when He will unveil His will and I will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. It was all preparation, it was all guided by the Holy Spirit, His hand has always been upon my life. He orchestrated it all...He orchestrated it all for this day, where He will reveal and I will say "YES! YES! GOD! YES!!!!!"
I just want to encourage you reading this. As I write right now, I'm finally calm enough to share with you this "GOD IS FAITHFUL AND HE KNOWS!"....For I'm just in awe and filled with gratitude that I have a lover who LOVES ME sooo much that He will go literally "to hell and back" for me. That's just what Jesus did. He said I love You this much to die for you yet while you were in sin, when you did not understand that your heart silently and desperately cried out to Him everyday, when nothing else could satisfy but you had somehow convinced yourself that "they would do", when all you placed your foundation upon falls apart, when the life you worked soo hard to realize never materializes...through the tears, and heartbreak...can you see your Lover...Arms wide open saying "I see you and I Love you"!!!! I wish I could write in tongues right now, for the excitement. To see His plan in weaving my story and connecting it with others, situations and circumstances that sometimes left me hopeless...but GOD in His infinite wisdom, and love, and power was in control all along.
SO I will worship God in a dance. I will praise Him with my instrument. I make myself available to Him to be used as His vessel to Bless, take authority, heal, deliver His people. GOD IS....Amen!!!

The Outcome
How awesome it is to serve a God who asks us to trust Him to be responsible for the outcome of all that we do. I believe when Jesus invited us to follow Him and cast our burdens on Him...this is what He was asking of us.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Mathew 11: 28-29).
To trust Him with our will and way, our selves, our destiny, our loved-ones. He is able to take care of everything but needs us to trust Him, that in His great compassion and love, His actions and the outcome have good intentions for us. As I walk this life, I pray that someday I'll get to the point of more trust in God being able to take care of the actions for everything that I do in my life. I pray that my walk with reflect a relationship with Jesus built on unshakable trust and a deep experiential, heartfelt knowledge of God's heart towards me.
