Living With Purpose on PurposeSample

When you walk in step with God, He will lead you to into your unique reason for living! You are closer than you think! It’s possible you are doing something big AND meaningful right now by loving the ones you are with, living intentionally, and with a purpose in your day to day. Don’t live life with a “someday” attitude; enjoy your current situation. Put one foot in front of the other. You’re going to be okay!

We’re to consider ourselves a sower of the seeds, like a farmer who sows his crop in season, and nurtures the soil and seeds until harvest. The Bible refers to this principle in 1 Corinthians 3:8,

“The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.”

It’s important to point out that we each have a part to work in the kingdom of God. It’s not that one part is more important than the other. Both parts, the sower and the one who waters, are equally important. We serve on the same team, but each will be rewarded for his own work. It's in our purpose which makes serving worth doing, and in knowing we're serving God; He is the Lord of the Harvest.

We’re stronger together. Not everyone is called to preach and teach, but we're all called to reach. This is our daily walk with God. In the Lord’s prayer, we pray, “Give us this day our DAILY bread.” (Luke 11:1-4) This is how the Lord wants us to live and to trust Him. Daily trust. It’s not a “one and done” activity; it’s continuous. This is how we live, by trust and walking hand in hand with God’s purpose for each of us.

I encourage you to show up to your life’s purpose. Thrive in doing the work that matters. If it matters to you, it matters to God. He’s given you a passion to fulfill your purpose. Love what you do; do what you love. Leave the world better than you found it. Sow some gospel seeds. Seek godly counsel and listen to God’s plans, for they will prevail. Make a difference through words and action. Live to inspire others. What you’re holding in your hands is your gift to God. Use it to serve others. Remember, we’re on the same team!
