God has saved us and
called us to a holy life, not because of anything we have done but
because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ
Jesus before the beginning of time.
2 Timothy 1:9
God has a purpose for each of us. Sometimes we are unable to grasp a
vision for that purpose, because of the limitations that have been
placed on us, as far back as we can remember. Our parents, teachers,
communities, peers, as well as the circumstances in our lives, all
influence our opinion of our ability and ourselves. Our true identity is
found in Jesus Christ. He wants to bring about the necessary changes in
us, which will bring His vision for our lives to pass. The more we spend
time with Him, the more we will begin to see ourselves through His eyes
and according to His purpose and what He has designed and determined us
to be. Whether it is ordinary or extraordinary we can do all things
through Jesus Christ who enables us.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, enable us to be all that You have purposed us to be. Help us
not be afraid to seek the vision You have for our lives, and to put
aside the opinions and circumstances that have influenced how we view
ourselves. Open our eyes and allow us to see clearly, the purpose You
have determined for our lives. Amen.
