I came on the World Race to discover what God’s purpose for my life is. This is no small question, and it is something I have pondered for a long time. I have longed for God to give me a definite reason as to why He created me and why I am here.
In the past, I have had several different opportunities to receive prophecy over my life. I approached these with expectancy, hoping for a clear answer about where I should go, what job I should do, whom I should marry. But each time I have received prophecy; I was spoken to about how much God loves me, and that I am His child. Initially, I was disappointed not to have a grand revelation from above.
Yet this is exactly what I needed to hear. If I am not fully rooted and grounded in who I am in Him, than no amount of good deeds I do will matter. This month I have learned that my identity in God and my character (who I am) are far more significant than what I do. God has been teaching me these past three months about who He is and who I am in Him.
I know that God has a plan for my life and I am trying to trust His design and His timing. But ultimately I know that no matter where I end up and what I do, I was created to worship Him. I was made to love and be loved by Him. I was made to bring Him glory.
Micah 6:8
He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
