Purpose picked? Destineys' Diva?

12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
15All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 16Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
Philipians 3v12-16


There’s this thing called purpose, many will spend their entire lives looking for it, many will follow something that they think is purpose to the grave. But to some of us our purpose is unfolded to us everyday. It lies in that only constant and certain thing in life - besides life and death. God!
In God I have found my identity. In God I have found the best person I can be for today.

As humans we were designed for a purpose, and wherether one believes in God or not everyone (ok! most people, I have met one person who went around in a little dark room called his life, thinking he was the purpose of everyone’s existence and that everyone was made to entertain him in on a mindless journey called life before he entered a utopian paradise where all his dreams would come true, needless to say a certain someone else very quickly switched on the lights – and now he sees the bigger picture - in the light!.)Everyone has that space or void inside of them that screams to be filled with a purpose and a reason to wake up in the morning (or in the cool of the day for the lucky!) It can only be filled by someone fulfilling, day by day what is set out for them. If one was called to sing for whatever reason, that purpose is fulfilled in going to musical college, and learning all there is about music, and finally manifested when those years at college pay off by landing a recording deal or something along those lines.

Now, there is also this misconception that a purpose in life has to be something big, and glamorous or formal. You don’t have to be a President to have a purpose. You don’t have to be a movie star; you don’t even have to be a platinum card holder. Sometimes the people who have discovered and tapped into their purpose are those who are just like you and me, like the primary school teacher who told you to explore your creativity and unknowingly unleashed a passion in you to fiddle with colours who knows you might be the next big thing the design world has been gugugaga over.

Its also fair to say that we don’t always know where our purpose in life will lead us, and for a majority of people their purpose does not became apparent to them easily, sometimes it requires one to look deeper into themselves, and really search out their souls to find that which has been set out for them. I love the way God does things because contrary to popular non-Christian belief God doesn’t normally call you to the most obscure things on this planet. Normally or should I say from my experiences and observation, God gives us desires and from those stem our calling. Again I will use the analogy of music (guess what I like!). If you have a passion for music don’t be surprised if God calls you to songwriting or if you are destined to become the next Cece Winans .

Um… there it is- the word I have been trying to avoid the whole day… destiny. And no I don’t think that there’s anything bad or wrong about it. Its just that in our modern day lingo it has become something of a mystical term something along the lines of foreseeing the future. I think destiny and purpose are really the same thing. My purpose in life is to be a blessing to others using my knowledge of the business world, or I can say I have been destined to be a blessing in the business world.

I would encourage everyone to seek their purpose or destiny in life. Sit down in a quite place in your world and your heart and really listen to what God has in store for you. He might not give you the whole plot (that would just spoil it!) but he will if you seek him lead you on your way.

As is normal for me to say. Dream big. Aim high.
I think the good thing about a person having reached rock bottom is they will never be scared to try for the fear of failing, they will try for the hope of succeeding. They have nothing to lose.

Love Me!
