"Discovering Your God-Given Purpose"
We all have a purpose, lovingly crafted by God's own hands. This message delves into Jeremiah 29:11, reminding us that God knows the plans He has for us - plans to prosper us and give us hope. But how do we discover and fulfill this purpose? It's not enough to simply exist; we must live intentionally. Just as athletes train rigorously to excel in their sport, we too must 'work out' spiritually to grow in our faith and purpose. The acronym SHAPE (Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, Experiences) offers a framework for understanding how God has uniquely designed each of us. By embracing our spiritual gifts, passions, natural abilities, personality traits, and even our painful experiences, we can align ourselves with God's plan.
This journey of discovery requires us to renew our minds, as Romans 12:2 instructs, and to offer ourselves as living sacrifices. Let's challenge ourselves to move beyond good intentions and truly live on purpose, allowing God to transform us and reveal His perfect will for our lives.
We pray you will be blessed through this message!
