Sharing Can Lead to Purpose

This week has been challenging, a friend of a friend passed away and I couldn’t help but ponder on whether or not he was saved. I couldn’t help but feel like I have been off my job as a Christian and follower of Christ. I’ve had numerous gatherings with this individual and even if I didn’t know him like that. I should have at least asked if he was saved. Salvation is every individual’s responsibility, not all of us are called to preach and teach but we must share the biblical truth. Christ when to cross for us, died and was resurrected. He forgives us for our sins, His love is so great and He saw us that many years ago that He would give His entire life for us, He was only 33. It touches my heart just writing about it.

I found Christ 5 years ago and my heart has never been the same I walked around with a huge void. Alcohol, money, and men could not fill this void only the love of Jesus. I had done so much wrong, made some awful choices how could a Holy God forgive me a worthless person for free? I’m sure there was something I need to do to earn this salvation, but their wasn’t, it was just accepting that He had forgiven me and surrendering my life over to Him.

My heart of stone eventually turned into a heart of flesh, it was a process but I started to believe that God has forgiven me for my sins. My focus before Christ was mainly on materialistic things and myself. But now His purpose is more about others and building them up to know there is more to life and a hope greater than anyone can imagine. ¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11 NIV. May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Being a mom or a dad is not just something to do but a divine calling, God has entrusted us to raise His children and has equipped us to do it. This is all apart of His purpose and plan for our lives. Our jobs are tough and challenging but He saw something in us that would bring the best end result. Your doing a great job.

Be encouraged today that God has a purpose and plan for your life that’s greater than you can ever imagine. Be blessed!!!
