Understand your purpose!

Job 32:4;7-9- Now Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he...'I thought, 'Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.' But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding. It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right. (NIV)
To understand our purpose, we must understand our worth. Comprehending our truth worth helps us to see that self-sacrificing, and not self-serving is the way to living life in abundance in all aspects..Now, before we go any further let me be clear, I am not talking about he self-sacrifice that we do for fame, glory, and comments but rather the self-sacrifice that is submititng to the will of the Father...okay, i will continue...With the awareness the promised destiny planned for our life is not lived, seen and we have our being unaware, without knowing our worth and purpose. When we grasp this, we are no longer bound by traditions, social and cultural norms, or  family nonsensical madness.  Although they are all useful in their place, we need to know when they have lost their usefulness, what is antiquated and out of date, and what is still relevant. We only finds this being real and discerning for one self,  it is the spirit in the man not age, gender, nationality, the bank balance, status, or birthright which bestows certain inalienable rights, but it is God. God shapes us in the flickering of eyes lids while His heart grants the cornucopia of presence and confidence.Then we are able to build a foundation that is solid enough to withstand any lost, disruption, horrific changes, because you know, you were born into this world to do what you are doing, and it feels good...you exhale, you release, and you begin to see truly, 'i am too blessed, too be stressed!'..In this passage of scriptures Elihu explains his role, he knew his role, and owned it, and did not allow anything from serving his purpose...giving the message Job chapters 32-37...We do not hear much, or any at all about Elihu after this..He is done because he has fulfilled his purpose, for this moment he was born..Could you do the same? Understanding your purpose allows you to do so...be blessed and know, living your purpose or without struggles but I can truthfully say, baby it is definitely easier, and allows the unspeakful joy that gives your soul rest like Jesus in the middle of the storm on the boat...
