The Lord has been speaking to me these last couple of weeks, to live my life on Purpose. Now, I know that there are quotes and books out there that read all about this. It is something different, when you have your Heavenly Father telling you this. Write it down...okay, I wrote it down. Now start writing and doing so.
So, where to begin. What does a life on purpose even look like? I started talking to my Mom, which I do often, and the words just starting flowing. Any one who has ever gone through any sort of trial, has had to learn how to do things on purpose. Get out of bed...check. Eat...check. I have even done this. I call it my "recycle" days. The things I do, because I have to...not necessarily because I want to.
Then it struck me. I may be limited with certain things, but there are some that I have no restriction whatsoever. Praying. Loving and respecting my Husband. Loving my children and telling them everyday. Giving hugs, just because. I have always done these things, but more out of habit. And THAT, is a dangerous place to be. Going through the motions. I don't want that to be my life. I will cherish these moments and hold them dear to me. I will not take for granite, that everyday is going to happen. I will love my family, on purpose. I will pray, with purpose. I will help those who need help, for their purpose.
And when I do this, I hope that everyday, a part of the selfish me, will break away.
I want to serve my Lord with a servant's heart. Not for recognition sake, but for His purpose and His alone.
I will no longer listen to the lies of the enemy, telling me what I cannot do because of my health. Those walls have been broken, and I am stepping out in faith, that my Lord has a beautiful purpose for my life.
"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him." ~Psalm 62:5
"Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." ~Psalm 62:8
