1 Thessalonians 1:4 “knowing, beloved of God, His choice of you.”


The realization that we are chosen by God is a life-changer. To know that God loves us not because of anything we have done, but simply because He chose to love us, impacts us in every way. His love for us is the big deal; everything revolves around His love for us. One thing that comes with the realization of His love for us is a sense of purpose. God is all-knowing, all-powerful, all-wise,  everywhere present; He is gracious and compassionate, He makes all things new; yet, we have been joined to Him and adopted into His family. With God, nothing is mundane or insignificant. It may be difficult to grasp, but God calls us to partner with Him in what He is doing; we can be a part of His fulfilling His purposes.WOW! We have been given the Holy Spirit to equip us, empower us and guide us in fulfilling our purpose. There are some purposes common to all believers; we are to glorify God in all we do, love others, forgive, and etc. However, God has specific, unique purposes for each of us. As we read the scriptures, as we learn of God, as we grow in the faith, and as we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will discover the purpose(s) God has for us. Only as we walk in the purpose God has assigned to us, will we find complete fulfillment. Our purpose may not sound grand and glorious, but it is important in the kingdom of God-and that’s what matters. There is no ranking of purposes; whether one is preaching to thousands or visiting someone who is sick, each is important in the work of God. So no matter your circumstances, your background, your abilities, your financial status, or whatever, know that if you know God as your Savior, you have a purpose from God to fulfill. There are times when we may question our purpose or even wonder if we have a purpose, but that does not change the fact that we have a God given purpose. Let us examine ourselves and ask God to help us in identifying the purpose(s) He has for us-then let us be about it. 


2 Timothy 1:9 “Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but for His own purpose and grace, which He gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,”


Blessings, Buddy
