Thoughts for Life: Created for a Purpose

Created for a purpose

That no other one can fill

To share the love of Jesus Christ

As God in you instilled

For which the things of years gone by

Have made us all unique

To make us what another needs

To find just what they seek

A path in life above all strife

To find their peace with God

To find a reason for the pain

They've suffered on this sod

That they like you have been ordained

To help another find

The path that leads to Jesus Christ

And holy peace of mind

You see the scriptures are quite clear

That nothing comes by chance

And if we're open to God's will

In every circumstance

We'll see the hand of God has lead

To bring us where we are

Though in our selfish attitude

We tried to wander far

From what the Lord had planned for us

Before the world began

Before He caused the light to shine

Or breathed His life in man

For though in our own aptitude

We cannot comprehend

The will of God has always been

To reach the souls of men

With love through His unbounded grace

That's brought us to this place

When soon the books will be complete

For all the human race

And those who've given heart and soul

That God might live through them

And have through their experience

Bestowed God's love to men

Will say through lips of thankfulness

I'd have no other way

Than how my God has lead me in

His path from day to day

So friend I must admit my prayer for you

Is that you'll find

A perfect holy attitude

And godly peace of mind

As daily on your knees you lay

Your life before God's feet

And trust with full assurance

That you will not face defeat

For with our Lord there will not be

A child that's left behind

As daily we will trust to Him

Our heart and soul and mind

Father, I am also thankful,
and would have no other way

than how You've lead me

day by day.

May I be obedient to Your plan

for me so I can

accomplish my purpose in life.

I ask this in the Name of Jesus.

Amen.

Today’s Bible verse: Nahum 2:5 "He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof and the defense shall be prepared."

Today’s quote: Winn Collier - "At times we tend to think of prayer only as calm, meditative devotion. But praying is often born out of sheer necessity. We face ruin and have nowhere to turn. We stand at the brink, and the cry simply erupts: 'Help!' " (Taken from p. 52 of IN TOUCH, A Publication of In Touch ministries / April 2014)

Some thoughts today: What manner of Love the Father has shown us! He bestows fellowship with Him through our sonship as His children in Christ! We receive a new DNA, which is from God! (see 1 John 3:1-3)

~ The mystery is that we can know Him! We have to experience this salvation ourselves, to be real to us. (see John 3:16)

~ We don't need to have a prophetic word in a particular way to know the Father's will in a situation. If we sit in His presence, and read His Word, the Bible, we can know His Heart and how He sees the situation.
