Who Said Your Purpose Was Being A Baker

It's a part of us. Invisible, but still there. Like faith... we were born with our purpose. All we have to do is see it... believe in it... and ask for it to become a visible part of our lives.

When searching for our purpose in life... don't forget that God has already provided us with what we need to live and be whatever our purpose is.

Think about it! Do you really believe you have no purpose in life? Do you really believe you're here just taking up space? It doesn't matter if your purpose is having and nurturing children or discovering the cure for some deadly disease... you serve a purpose!

Your purpose in life doesn't always have to be something that will make you famous. It may be giving birth to someone who will become famous. It boggles the mind, I know... but we can't all be butchers, bakers and candle stick makers.

I once read where someone said, that whatever our purpose in life is...helping each other and giving glory to God should always be a part of it.

This statement sounds incredible. ASK and it shall be given. It sounds amazing, doesn’t it? It sounds almost unbelievable right? Imagine if all you had to do to get anything you wanted out of life is ASK. It sounds a little farfetched doesn’t it?

But The Bible Tells Us To ASK And It Shall Be Given You

No matter how farfetched it may sound, it is so true. If it weren’t true, the Bible wouldn’t say it.

If you go to God and ask Him to help you discover His purpose for your life, and if you are truly sincere and truly desire to find your purpose in life, “it shall be given you.” It will. Try it. Go somewhere you can be alone. Find a quiet place where you can talk with God.

Tell him your desire. Let him know that you are unhappy with your present situation. You know you were meant to be great! Let Him know that want more for your life than your present situation.

Are You Ready To Live Your Purpose?

Let Him know that you desire to lead the life He has planned for you. Remind Him that He said “Ask, and it shall be given you.” Let Him know that you are ready to start living His purpose for your life.

Write down what God is directing to your soul. Write down every thought and idea that enters your head.

Take Note Of All Your Thoughts

For the next week, write down every single idea that comes to you. The idea may come when you are eating breakfast, or driving to work, or when you’re in the shower. Generally, it comes when your mind is not occupied with your daily thoughts. It will generally come when your mind is free of thought. That’s why it’s important to mediate each day.

By meditate, I don’t necessarily mean that you will have to sit with your legs crossed and palm up, chanting. I simply mean find some time when you are alone and in quiet surrounding. You cannot mediate if the kids are running around you, screaming. Or the spouse is telling you about their day. You can’t mediate watching the prime time special on television--because your mind will be occupied with other things.

Make it a habit of spending at least 15 minutes each day in complete quietness. Clear your mind and let the thoughts and ideas flow. This is God’s way of communicating with you. Pay attention. He is trying to give you the answers you need to lead the life you know you are meant to live.

Seek And Ye Shall Find

Once you get your answers from God, it is now your responsibility to seek out ways you can live your life’s purpose. Do research. Talk with people who know about your life’s purpose. Seek others who are presently doing what you will be doing. Research your purpose via the Internet or the Library. Go to the bookstore. Believe it or not there is nothing new under the sun. If you are interested in a subject, there are others interested in the same subject and someone, somewhere has written a book on it. So seek, and ye shall find.

Knock And It Shall Be Opened Unto You

Once you realize your purpose in life, research it, study it until you know a lot regarding your subject, all you have to do is knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

You will be amazed at all the opportunities that will start coming your way once you learn your purpose. Once you start the wheels turning others will start materializing that will help to bring you to the next level. The Universe will start to work in your favor.

Let me give you an idea of how this works. When I decided to write a book, it was simply a thought I had. The very next day after having this idea, I went on the Internet and in my mailbox, there was an email on How to Write an Ebook. I hadn’t even looked up this information yet. It was simply there, in my mailbox, waiting for me to read it.

There are thousands of others examples I could give. It is truly amazing and God never ceases to amaze me.

ACTION POINT: This week, ask God to help you discover His plan for your life. Once you receive His answer, research your subject and keep your eyes open for all the doors that will start to open.
