GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING WORLD..... AGAIN!!! =) Yeah I am up early. always am on a Monday for some strange reason lol BUT gotta go for a fitting for my new suit! =) LOVING IT! I try an plan so hard for my season. Lots to do. BUT reading todays THOUGHT kinda brought me to a little halt. He is using you now for His purposes throughout the world as He used His Son for the purpose of our salvation. If you really take time to think about this, it is no small thing! We work so hard at trying to do God;s work that we dont really know HIS purpose for me. We each have our own individual purpose IN HIM. And He is the one that should be directing our path. Jesus had a choice. just as we do. In Gethsemane He asked the Father to change his path. Dying was not His will, it was the Fathers will. So many times we look at what God has called us to and maybe start to think that it is impossible to accomplish. We start to make excuses and analyze the situation. Then we determine that it could NOT be God telling us to do that which we were called to do. But in the end Jesus said NOT MY WILL, BUT YOUR WILL, purpose. direction, whatever term you wish to place here. It is ALL HIM! we are ALL HIS, but only if we CHOOSE to do it. What are you choosing today? Is it REALLY His will, or are you trying to determine how His will fits into yours? HAVE A GREAT DAY AND WONDERFUL WEEK! TAKE CARE! GOD BLESS! LOVE YA!!! THOUGHT OF THE DAY (utmost.org) FELLOWSHIP IN THE GOSPEL …fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ… —1 Thessalonians 3:2 After sanctification, it is difficult to state what your purpose in life is, because God has moved you into His purpose through the Holy Spirit. He is using you now for His purposes throughout the world as He used His Son for the purpose of our salvation. If you seek great things for yourself, thinking, “God has called me for this and for that,” you barricade God from using you. As long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions, you cannot be completely aligned or identified with God’s interests. This can only be accomplished by giving up all of your personal plans once and for all, and by allowing God to take you directly into His purpose for the world. Your understanding of your ways must also be surrendered, because they are now the ways of the Lord. I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. I should never say, “Lord, this causes me such heartache.” To talk that way makes me a stumbling block. When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance. He can crush me, exalt me, or do anything else He chooses. He simply asks me to have absolute faith in Him and His goodness. Self-pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world. Doing this creates for me my own cozy “world within the world,” and God will not be allowed to move me from it because of my fear of being “frost-bitten.”
