Welcome to Day 15 of Chasing THE Light Project: I Have
Purpose
Today’s verse comes from Ephesians 1:9. “God has told us His
secret reason for sending Christ, a plan He decided on in mercy long ago.”
Want to know a secret? You have a purpose in this life. You
matter. God wants to unite all things in Him and that includes YOU.
Sometimes, we look for ways to fill those empty places we
feel. We may think that it’s a new job, a new title, another degree, a better
house, to lose the last 10 pounds, etc. Whatever it is – we try and fill it
with our answer and that may last for a little while…but eventually we go back
to feeling empty again. The cycle
continues.
The emptiness in our souls can only be filled by Jesus.
The purpose of our lives is to make Jesus known. The secret
is Jesus.
We fill up on Him…we allow Jesus to fill our empty spaces
and then we are able to fill others.
God’s secret – is to unite all things in Him. Jesus came so
that we could be with God.
“Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is
the true self. Every other identity is illusion.” ~Brennan Manning
God certainly gave us gifts and talents to use for His
glory…and all the titles in the world don’t really mean much. The only title that means everything is
“Child of God.”
