Your Purpose

By Sodwana Bay

YOUR PURPOSE? “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.” (Matthew 16:25) Why do you go on living? At some point each one of us has considered and wondered about our purpose in life. Does my life even have purpose? And in that purpose, do I matter? On days when I feel my lowest, my thoughts wander, tempting me to think that I have no purpose at all. Yet, in Christ, we always have a purpose. There is always meaningfulness and excitement in one form or another when we follow Jesus. Left to our own desires, our purposes fail us. We may desire recognition, success, or popularity. Many of us are searching for acceptance. We find that even when achieved, the satisfaction we derive from these desires is hollow, and at best fleeting. There is only one true meaning and purpose in life, and His name is Jesus Christ. If you give your life to Him, you will find that He is your all in all, the very reason you can see His purposes in you even through the pains and agonies of this life. When you lose your life for Christ, you will indeed find it in Him, if not in this life, then surely in the next. Source: Anchor Devotional – Your Purpose Originally posted 2015-08-13 07:38:24.

The Wonder of God’s purpose

By Sodwana Bay

It is such a mystery how God thinks and operates most of the time… No one in their right mind would blindly surrender but part of following Christ Jesus is the “burned” of surrender. Jesus said – my burned is light! How can surrender be a burden you may ask? That is just it – If you do not want to do it and fight the process it becomes somewhat of a burden to your soul. It is like that choir you have to do but keep on putting aside… We all struggle with being ourselves and wearing masks daily – now we are being asked to drop all pretenses and leap into a live of FAITH! Laying all things at his feet – total surrender. It is madness I say to you. Faith is believing in what is not seen… this is a real scary commitment to make, but like all great men and women of the bible: it is those who had FAITH in Gods process that saw a whole new side of God personality. I believe our God yearns for a deeper connection with us his creation. Sad to say but most of is just that – creations. Jesus wants to set that right and make us Family!   [wp-review]
