God made each of us with a perfect purpose in mind before we were, He knew His purpose for each of us. What does that really mean? It is about living a life beyond self; it is not about me but for me. It is understanding birthright bestowed does not automatically mean as time pass things will fall into place, just like that. Knowing ‘no pain, no gain’ is a reality beyond a physical work-out but in life because pains and gains are more than physical but also mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. With much authority, rights, comes great responsibility, and a wealth of wisdom is needed to carry you through. The revolutionary conclusion that the best do not always win, as the winners is not always the best. Learning and comprehending the difference between living a Christian life, and going to church; unbelievably it is different, and most do not want to deal with it. Even though, to live truly what God has for your life requires the humbling magnificent ability to combine both by being truth to self about ‘self’ to see that purpose. John 8:32- And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free..where there is freedom, there is liberty, and who the son set free, we are free indeed...no one man can imprison us.
Living free, living truthfully is being honest with self, that it for me but not about me, first. When you are honest with self, it becomes your lifestyle change, your cultural, your disposition, and mantra for life, and yet, you do not become conceit but rather amazingly humbled by such a gift, and overwhelm by the weight. Because when you become aware, you understand Solomon prayer where he admits in his prayer, his ability to fulfilled his obligation, purpose in God without God’s direction, intervention. I Kings 3:7 – And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father; I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in. The creation sough the creator for direction, and his life change forever. However, the rest of the story of Solomon tells us, he fulfills his desires, disobeyed God, cost more than just him in the end. It is not about you.
We all are caught up in the moment, the convenient, comfortable, familiar but in order to live the purpose God has for your life. We must move from the unfamiliar like Abraham and leave all that we know for sure, for what we do not know (faith); follows God’s call like Paul in honest awareness of our past mistakes and no longer aiding, abetting, society ungodliness and/or our family, friends, and love ones (faith). Accept God’s chastisement like David, to become a person after God’s own heart, because we have the correct responds to our consequence of our actions (God knows better, when we, think we know best); lastly know that living God’s purpose for our life is not a smooth sailing process, even when you know in the end you shall win, as shown in Christ life as we submit to God wills – not my will, but Thy will be done! However, living our purpose grants us a piece of mind that no one can take away or disturb.
