A Note From Ann
WE OUGHT TO LIVE ON PURPOSE FOR GOD
I recently purchased a foot/leg exerciser/peddler. (No, real-
ly, I’m gonna use it, some day!) It’s small. The other day I
tripped over it. Luckily, I didn’t fall. I need to pay closer aen-
on to the steps I take. I need to walk on purpose, with pur-
pose, so I won’t trip again, and fall.
We oen hear, or ourselves ask, “Why am I here?” I chal-
lenge you to go before God in prayer, asking Him to show you
your giing, or His purpose, for your life. (God created each of
us for a purpose. Everyone has been given at least one gi of
the Holy Spirit.)
Romans 8:28: “And we know that in all things God
works for the good of those who love him, who have been
called according to his purpose.”
God works in all things, He doesn’t pick and choose which
ones, for our good. Evil, and the momentum of the spread of
evil, pervades this darkened world. But God can turn every
negave circumstance around for our long-range good, if we
let Him in.
However, God doesn’t work to make us happy, (happiness/
joy comes from obeying Him), but to fulll His purpose in us.
This verse is a promise; but it’s not for everyone.
5
Only those who love God and are “called according to His
purpose” can claim this promise. The ones that are called are
those who have asked Jesus Christ into their hearts as Lord and
Savior of their lives. In other words, only Chrisans can claim
this promise. It doesn’t apply to non-Chrisans, (unbelievers).
Once one has invited Jesus in, they have a new mind-set, or
outlook, on life. They trust in God, not life’s treasures,
(material things); they seek security in God, and the fact that
they are going to Heaven one day, not in anything here on
earth. They choose to accept, rather than resent, pain and tri-
als, because God is with them. God is in control, always!
Praise Him!
Let us learn what gi(s) God has given us, using them to walk
on purpose/with God’s purpose for our lives.
All praise, honor, and glory to our heavenly Father, Amen!
In Christ,
Ann
