In All Things: Finding Purpose In Everyday Life
|
Inspirational
As I got older, the things that I thought I wanted to do were no longer on my list to complete. Have you ever just wondered what is it that I am supposed to be doing with my life? What is the plan God has for me? Am I going in the right direction? While reflecting on many things that had taken place, it was then that I realized that I had a purpose everywhere, every day. Sometimes you are the purpose. You don't have to do anything spectacular, other than being your genuine self. It's time to stop trying to make your own path and simply follow His. It may seem unclear, but He will never lead you in the wrong direction. Start listening for God's voice, "in all things". It's there you will find your purpose in every day life.
