December’s Awakening, Day 1
Everyone who breathes, high and low,
educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman, has a mission, has a work.
We are not sent into this world for nothing; we are not born at random; we are
not here, that we may go to bed at night, and get up in the morning, toil for
our bread, eat and drink, laugh and joke, sin when we have a mind, and reform
when we are tired of sinning, rear a family and die. God sees every one of us;
He creates every soul…for a purpose.
—John
Henry Newman
The main thing in this world is not
being sure what God's will is, but seeking it sincerely, and following what we
do understand of it. The only possible answer to the destiny of man is to seek
without respite to fulfil God's purpose.
—P. Tournier
For
if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will
arise from another place, but you and your fatherʼs family will perish. And who
knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14
NIV
You
have been created by God for a specific purpose and for precisely this time in
history. Each of us is unique and God has a special path laid out for us to
follow. It is up to us to discover what that path and purpose is and pursue it
diligently and wholeheartedly. When we are living our lives in the light of our
discovered purpose, we will be living in God’s will and therefore, we will be
the most satisfied and blessed by what we are doing. This world has many
potential roads to follow, and we may be successful on many of them, yet it is
only the road that God has prepared for us to travel on where we will truly
know and experience the fullness of life and the fullness of Him. It’s time to
discover your mission and purpose in life and travel relentlessly down that
road—this is your destiny—this is what you were created for—for such a time as
this.
