There are 45 verses that reference purpose in the Bible.
The word purpose can leave one either very focused or very confused…
I have witnessed a small portion of the population are blessed knowing their purpose in life as a child. Most seem to be hyper-focused and become protégés early in life. But I do not believe that is normal for most of the general population.
When I think back at my life, my purpose changed according to what was happening in my life. You can probably relate. As a child, my purpose was to go to school get good grades, and stay out of trouble. As you grow into a young adult you began to try to understand your purpose and pray you to get it right. But then life happens, and you have children of your own. And like many moms and dads, your purpose becomes your children. And they become a large chunk of your life. Working to provide for their care. Working to ensure their happiness. Working to love them through all of their trials. Then one day they are grown. And they began the cycle of life outlined above.
And if you are blessed you become a part of their team and help support them and their children. Because in this world it is so true. We do need a village to raise a child.
But as important as this is. When someone finds you and redirects your focus in a mighty way. How can we explain it? How can we pursue it? How can we understand it?
I can only speak from my experience. God found me on a lonely road in Tennessee. I have been trying to explain it by sharing my experience and writing about my journey. It’s has taken me many hours of pursuing Him to understand Him and what He wants. You see it truly is quite simple. We are the ones who complicate our relationship with our Heavenly Father, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit. (3N1)
His purpose has always been His children. They are a large chunk of His life. He is always providing for their care. He wants to ensure our happiness. He will love us through all of our life trials.
He wants us to love Him with all our mind, body, and soul. Because that is how He loves us. with everything He has!! It’s a love like no other.
It seems that our true purpose is to LOVE. So how do we miss the mark so many times? How can we truly fill our purpose?
I have found when you love Him with all your mind, body, and soul your purpose to LOVE becomes clear. Because when you do this your focus becomes clear. and everything around you has new meaning and you began living a purposeful life. He is the gift and the key to achieving our life’s purpose.
It's Him. It's always Him
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: 1 Peter 2:9 KJV
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 KJV
But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
Psalm 1 2-3
