Finding your purpose in life

   If one would ask me what I was doing and where I was doing it at in the 1990's, my answer would be a guess at best. I call it the blur. The time behind me going much faster than the space ahead of me. In that time there are snippets and blips of things memorable, but most of them to be fair I do not remember. That time in my life was not...memorable. Our forgotten memories are often our friends. I have definitely forgotten more than I have recalled. 

   I spent much of my life living a decent life, but it had no purpose. It had no aim. No goal. No conclusion. Therefore it required no diligence or resolve. The knowledge of having a Father in heaven who literally personally cared about me in a way that I had never been taught or exposed to changed everything. That was on February 23, 2014. I'm telling you right now I've never been the same. Life is not about just me anymore

   That's the day that Purpose found me. Only then could I conclude that I had a purpose. A Spiritual purpose. I was not seeking this, but it had always been reaching out to me. It had been waiting for me to be broken enough to know I needed all put back together. 

  I am not special. I am almost invisible online. I have failed miserably more than I care to share. There are things about me that I cuss word hate. I am not always happy with myself. I am my own worst critic. I let the love of my life slip through my fingers. I hate that about myself. I spend a lot of time alone. I will never have children. I am the black sheep in my family....

....but I am a sheep now. No I did not find a shepherd. The Shepherd found me and His manner of greatness left no doubt about to whom I belong to, and to whom I always have. I reckon to be quite honest. I was not one of the 99. I was the 1 he left the 99 for.

   Our purpose is purposed to us. Along with a calling comes a call to what that purpose is. It is personal individual and vital to the body of Yeshua. This is not a corporate call. It's an individual whisper that when heard I'm telling you, it cannot be denied. You just act upon that notion.  Those in Christ tend to seek and find their position and purpose within His body because that's just what His Spirit does to one. It's much greater than what we can imagine. 

    That's our purpose.
