God calls us to his kingdom for a purpose each one of our purposes is different, when we go against our calling God has for us we are dishorning him and ourselves.
God designed us, he knows everything about us our strengths and weaknesses - our purpose is perfect for us because we end up using our strengths for good. So then why do we go against God’s plan? For me, I fall into the lie of trusting myself more than God himself.
I have found that I trust myself more than God because I see myself and I can’t see God, our relationship with God is purely faith based. Faith by definition is having a belief without having tangible truth in front of you, therefore by taking each step of Faith in trusting God over yourself makes us one step closer to our purpose.
A big truth statement here and key note here is that God will always want to do good - if the thoughts and actions are motivated by division, evil and hate - that’s the devil, if the thoughts are loving and unity - that’s God, know it’s to up to you to make that choice of acting of the loving and unity towards people in the world. The desire is to stay honoring God by hearing and feeling his presence - I do that by praying everyday - at least once a day.
Friends, everyday it’s a choice - do I love myself enough to know that God put me here for a purpose and if the answer is YES, then again its our choice to make the steps in the right direction by praying and staying connected to God, so he can guide you step by step. It’s a journey to loving yourself and it’s a journey living in our God given purpose, but with community it becomes a little easier.
