WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?

 
Acts 26:16
 
"But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to your for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you." ESV
 
Purpose. Don't we all want to know what our own specific purpose is for being in this world? This discovery seldom occurs like it did for the Apostle Paul, a sudden, dramatic encounter with Christ telling us exactly what our purpose is. But we can take what Christ said to Paul and make it our own. Our purpose is to live and speak of the things He has already put in our hearts and be ready to do the same with those things He is going to show us. That is our purpose. How we do it will vary because we all have different life circumstances and Godly gifts.
 
Heavenly Father, we are humbled at the way we continue to seek Your purpose for our lives when Your Word clearly tells us. Increase our faith so that we will be prepared at any given moment to tell of Christ the wonderful things You have done in our lives. Give us discernment and understanding to see what You are going to do. We accept the commission of the purpose You have for our lives. We have nothing else to offer but ourselves. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
