Purpose
Identity Shift
*Purpose
We are here for a reason. To carry out God’s overall purpose/ master plan. So what exactly is that plan? To make the Earth a reflection of Heaven by filling the Earth with God’s characteristics, & to bring the people of God together under the leadership of Jesus Christ…
So what role do we play in all this? What role do we play in God’s master plan? One, to accept Christ as our savior. And two, to turn away from sin and reflect Christ… so that we can do our part to fill the Earth with the characteristics of God… such as love, faithfulness, and grace…
That is why your individual purpose isn’t about you at all. It’s about serving other people because that is literally what God did when he gave his son Jesus… And what Jesus did when he died on the cross for our sins. Those weren’t selfish acts, but acts that were all about us… So if you want to uncover God’s purpose for you life, ask yourself, how can I serve others with my natural abilities? And how can I make sure when people look at me, they see the God in me? That’s how you’ll do your part in God’s master plan.

Exercise:
Spend the day thinking about what your purpose is if you haven’t already uncovered it… Ask God to give you the wisdom to do the thing he put you here to do in a way that serves people and pleases him.
