What is your purpose?

Try to see each interruption, each task, however small, as the fulfillment of Divine Intent.  
Accept it, say your thanks for it. Do so until this becomes a habit,
and the resulting joy will transfigure and transform your lives. Stop all work, stop all interaction with others until peace is restored.    Do not let those about you spoil your peace of heart and mind.   Do not let anyone or any trouble, irritation, or adversity, disturb your peace.  Look on each difficutly as training to enable you to acquire this peace.   Every work, every interruption, set to see that none of it touches the harmony of the real you.  -God Calling

We have God given emotional needs.   When those needs are left completely unmet, we become depleted and tend to operate primarily out of our weaknesses.  We all have strengths, and when surrendered to God, we become more like Him as we become more like our true selves.   None of us is perfect, but we are wonderully made just as God planned.  -a confident heart.

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life!  -Proverbs 4:23

You do not make yourselves loving and strong and patient and humble.
You live with Me.   
Then My life accomplishes the miracle change.   -God Calling

God has put a divine magnet within each of us that is intended to attract us to the people, function or causes where He intends us to minister.   Prayerfully pursue your passions, not in a selfish way, but in a way that honors the person God created you to be.

So how do we discover our hearts desires? 

 Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

As we find our deepest delight in our personal relationship with God and allow His word to shape our thinking and plans, the Lord promises to shape our desires as well.   There is a connection between our delighting in God and discovering our hearts desires.

Stop striving and start seeking instead.  

No matter how big or how small our talents may seem, they are all God given and can be used for His purposes.   It is important to focus on what we have instead of what we don't have.   When we are faithful with the little things, God entrusts us to more and we get to share in the joy of fulfilling His purposes.   We are stewards responsible for all God has entrusted to us, no matter how insignificant our gifts seem. -A confident heart

"If you want to know your purpose, 
pursue the heart of God and you will have a head on collision with your calling."  -Beth Moore

Marriage
Let us build up each other in love, not sharing truth about each other in hate.

Leave a legacy of God's faithfulness to your children!

We will not hide these truths from our children,
but will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord.
We will tell of His power and the mighty miracles He did.   Psalm 78:4
