Shout out to JCLU for the picture!!!
The reoccurring them in peoples life is What is my purpose? When I came across that shirt at JCLUforever.com (They sell some awesome stylish merchandise.) I know what it feels like to just sit there and wonder what am I doing with my life? Am I doing something wrong? I just wanted to be a walking billboard for little girls, teenagers and women. There's too many people running around thinking they have no puropse. Don't you know God created us all with a purpose? We have to put ourselves in the position to hear God and we have to listen. Sometimes we just forget to sit still and listen. God can do amazing through you. YES THROUGH YOU!!! No matter how many times you have fallen short, he will never forsake you. That being said, I'm not telling you to go out there and do whatever you want, knowing it's wrong. There are consequences. (Trust me, I never realized my foolish behavior in my early twenties would kick me in the butt when I got married.)
A Virgin, that which shall be born of thee shall be called the son of God. MARY
A Queen, you have come to a royal position for such times as this. ESTER
A Harlot, we will treat you faithfully when the Lord gives us the Land. RAHAB
A Slave, your descendents will be too numerous to count. HAGAR
A Purpose
Exodus 9:16
But I have raised you up for this very purpose that I might show you my powers and that my name might be proclaimed in all.
From the greatest of these to the least of them, God created these women for a purpose.
I just want you to ask God to guide you and find out your gifts and talents.He designed all of us with a purpose. Everyone. I think women need to hear it, because sometimes we don't value your ourselves, which can then make it hard for us to believe that God has a purpose for us.Been there. Sometimes self doubt has a way of creeping up in your spirit and staying for a while. We are all valued by God, not matter what mistakes we have made. I have to admit, I have to put myself in a better position to hear God more clearly. I have to read/study the bible more, pray more openly with those that I love and make sure I'm a living/breathing example. Ladies we have to make sure we value ourselves, because lack of self love will be an underlying theme to all this self doubt. Self doubt can lead to much more self destruction. Did I forget to mention it doesn't matter what age you are when you discover your purpose?
Your talent is God's gift to you, what you do with it is your gift to God.
What are your talents? Are you guilty of thinking God cannot use you?
What are you going to different, so that you can hear from God more clearly?
Thanks for this! I'm steadily focusing on finding my purpose and I keep coming back to "helping people". I truly feel like that is my purpose, so I look for different ways to do this.
