Who am I and what am I called to do?

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."  Prov.3 :5-6

I’ve asked myself many times how does a person understand who they really are and what their purpose is? Many times we jump into situations, projects, relationships because either it is popular at that time, it feels good to do, or someone has convinced us to do it. I know for a fact that I have not always sought God’s approval let alone guidance going into situations. I was prompted by my own desires, or encouraged by people and circumstances to just do it. Our society encourages us to “Just Do It”. So we do. I believe that we need to put things in our lives into a better perspective before we “Just Do It”.  So here is how we can know ourselves and our purpose.

    Knowing Christ and having a relationship with Him better helps you to understand who we were meant to be.

    Know yourself through the eyes and heart of Christ. Christ knew you and purposed (ordained) you before you were conceived. If you have the creator in your life, who made you with purpose, then you can seek him for guidance and direction to become who you were made to be and reach your full potential in Him.

    Know Your Purpose and Call. In having a relationship with Christ, knowing yourself in Christ, it is easier to understand and fulfill your Purpose. You have a reference, and guide, and advisor to help you with decisions. You have someone to go to in Prayer and find understanding as to where, who, why, and what you need to do to become who God called you to be.


Lean to God’s Understanding…. Acknowledge Christ…. Listen to God’s directions… Then you will understand who you are and what you are called to do…


Be Blessed, G

Practice Forgiveness for a Peaceful Heart

Image
"Bear with each other and forgive one another… Forgive as the Lord forgave you." -  Colossians 3:13 Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but it’s an essential part of a peaceful and fulfilling life. When someone wrongs us, the initial reaction might be to hold onto the hurt, replaying moments of pain and frustration. Yet, Colossians 3:13 reminds us that just as God has forgiven us, we too are called to forgive others. This act of forgiveness brings healing not only to the relationship but also to our own hearts. Holding onto grudges often weighs us down, filling our minds with anger, bitterness, and stress. Forgiveness, on the other hand, allows us to let go of this burden. When we forgive, we’re choosing freedom from resentment and moving forward in peace. As difficult as it may seem, forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing or forgetting the wrongdoing; it simply means releasing the control it has over our lives. It's about finding peace by trusting that God will give us the strengt...

The Power of Listening

Image
"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 Listening is a gift that connects and strengthens families across generations. When we truly listen, we show love and respect, giving younger generations the wisdom and guidance they need for their journey. For the older generation, this listening brings a deep satisfaction, knowing that their experiences and lessons add value to their family and are cherished by those they love. "Lord, help me listen with a loving and patient heart. May I encourage the younger and older generations alike to see the value in each other's lives and experiences, growing together in love and wisdom. Amen." UNAPOLOGETICALLY, G

Your Purpose is a Blessing

"...Great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve." Jeremiah 32:19 Have you ever considered what would happen if someone who is called to be a dentist one day decides that he wants to become a cardiologist? If you were a heart patient, how confident would you be in his ability to successfully treat you? Not very confident at all! You would be uncomfortable with the fact that he is working outside of his calling.  Now consider that this same dentist was present and in place when you come into the dentist office with excruciating pain and discomfort. Would you hesitate in asking and trusting him to help you? No, not at all!! Your confidence lies in knowing that he is operating in his calling. When you operate in your calling you become a blessing to all those God sends your way. So, if you are called to be a dentist or doctor, operate in yo...
