My wish is that each of you will
find your own unique purpose. I want you all to stand up in the
mornings and be excited to start your day. But I know it takes time
and I know that the Lord's timing is not our timing. Be patient,
remember that the Lord is never late. If He wants you to start, you
will know it. He will be on time. Just keep on believing.
I would like to finish off this
series of 'Purpose in Life' with just a last couple of ideas that I
would like to share with you.
At the hand of our example of the
fun park, the Lord showed me a few things. Firstly He illustrated
to me that once you have started with your purpose and you are on
your roller-coaster, remember one thing. There will be a lot of ups
and downs and round twirls, but it will be all worth it. Just do
not get off the roller-coaster! Don't let the ups
discourage you. You will experience so much. Even during the 'ups'
you will have joy and peace that the world cannot understand,
because you can know that the roller-coaster is in God's Hands.
Secondly, once you are in the
roller-coaster, the Holy Spirit will strap you in and lead you
where you need to go. Once you started, one thing will lead to
another as the roller-coaster knows its way. Things will be pointed
out to you as you go along. You will not necessarily know the end
once you start, but everything will fall into place as long as you
are still strapped in by the Holy Spirit.
And lastly, whether you get on the
specific ride planned especially for you or not. You can walk
around and arrive at the end destination (I assume now that
you are a new born Christian and have accepted Jesus as your
Savior), along with everyone else. You will still go to heaven and
be with our Savior. But you would have missed so much. You would
have missed the ride of your life.
I wish you well on your journey of
finding what the Lord wants you to do. I spent a lot of time before
the Lord unveiled mine to me, but it was worth every second of it!
I don't know all the intricacies of what it all involves or what
small turns I will need to take. But one thing I do know; I am on
the rollercoaster and I am on my way. The details will be given to
me along the way, but for now I am enjoying the ride.
Lord Jesus, You are awesome! Thank
you for giving each of us a ride to climb on to. Thank you that You
are there to strap us in and be with us every step of the way. We
love You. Amen
