Fulfilling Your Purpose.

I had dinner with Lynn and Jim just now. Was telling them about my purpose and calling in Melb. This TGIF freaking hit the mark! It is incredible... so scary!!!

I was sharing about my purpose here and how i should complete it before i leave. How God spoke to me about His plans for me after i Grad. How i am scared of what is to come. How I should do what God has asked me to do already and not procrastinate and be rebellious. What are the measures i am taking to move towards that. Evaluating what are the activities that wastes time. What really counts.

This whole TGIF sums up everything! Like seriously mad shit!!!!

Fulfilling Your Purpose
TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman
Monday, February 15 2010

"O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD" (Ps 139:1-4).

Your purpose in life is chosen by God. It is not negotiable. It is like calling water wet-there is no changing that fact, and there's no changing God's purpose for your life. While you may not fulfill the purpose for which you were made, you still have a purpose that God intends for you to fulfill. This is your blueprint from God. In the same way that He had a specific purpose in mind for Jesus when He sent Him to the earth, He has a specific purpose in mind for your life.

This doesn't mean, however, that there is one highly specific niche for you to fill and that if you miss it, too bad. It is my belief that you can achieve your purpose in many different and creative ways. This should take the pressure off. You won't throw your entire life off course by choosing the wrong college, job or mate. God is much bigger than any miscalculation or disobedience on your part. "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me" (Ps. 138:8). Isn't that comforting to know?

Defining your purpose will help you to determine the activities that you should be involved in. Like Jesus, you should not involve yourself in activities that contradict His purpose for your existence. Jesus? purpose was to do the will of the Father and become the salvation for mankind.

Each of us must ask why we are involved in an activity. Is it a God-activity, or just a good activity? Remember, Jesus only did something if He saw the Father doing it, and He was able to see what His Father was doing because of His intimate relationship with Him.

Today, take steps to insure you are aligned with your purpose.
