Here we are; it’s Friday. Well, it’s almost finished here, lol. I’m running behind these days.
I’m joining in with the FMF Community over at Kate Motaung’s site. Click the link and check it out. See other’s posts. Be inspired and encouraged.
My graphic lists the prompt word here:
We have all have a purpose. If we aren’t intentional in our own purpose, someone else will hijack it and use you for their purpose.
How’s that you wonder? Well, I’ll tell you. Let’s sit a spell and ruminate on this thought.
What does Yahweh’s word tell us?
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28
Yahweh uses each of us for His purpose. You know all those times things happen that you didn’t want to happen or things that you felt were awful? I look at those times as a test of faith and character building.
Even when you don’t like how things turn out, Yahweh’s purpose is to use those things. It’s part of His will in our lives.
So, instead of fighting against it; go with it. Let it work for your good.
How does that look in your life? Comment and let me know.

It is hard to hold on to the promise of purpose in my life sometimes. I think prayer is key. Thank for sharing with the FMF community this week.

Thanks for stopping by neighbor! 🙂 Okay now to the serious.
God is definitely working in my life, and right now I am waiting on His purpose as I wait on something specific.
I have been through the ringer, and although it wasn’t fun while the rougher moments where going on, God has allowed people to come into my life who are experiencing when I have been through, and I’ve been able to encourage, bless, pray and be an ear for them.
I look forward to what He is going to do next. 🙂
Have a great week!

Dear Kimberly, I really love this thought: “go with it. Let it work for your good.” Sometimes I find myself striving to try and figure out what the good is that will come out of the trial! But it would be so much more peaceful if I would wait for God to show me the Good, even as I wait for Him to bring me up and out of the trial. Thanks for your encouragement! –Blessings!

I love what you said here. So many times in my life things went NOTHING like how I had planned, and yet they were exactly as He had planned. The trick is surrendering ourselves to His sovereignty and trusting His perfect plan for our lives. Glad we were neighbors this week!

That not being intentional in your own purpose opens the door to hijacking by another is so true…and it’s something I had never considered.
Thank you for this!

I’m glad I could uncover something for you to think about, Andrew.

FMF bounce back. You came to my blog and commented last Friday so I’m returning the favor. I think past “bad” life events have allowed me to encourage others who are younger or less mature or just having a rough time persevere because hey we all go through rough patches. Some more so than others. God uses people and experiences to refine us for His purpose not always are own vision of what we are meant to be/do/say. 🙂 Jenn
