Ephesians 2

Ephesians 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

So many times I speak with people who feel down and out.  They have no hope.  They feel like they have no reason to live.  They feel like they have no purpose.  I love this passage because it is full of encouragement.  First and foremost, we are God’s workmanship.  He created us just the way He wanted us.  God doesn’t make mistakes.  We have the strengths and characteristics He desires us to have.  He gave us just what we need to accomplish the tasks He has for us to do because He created us for good works.

God already knows what our purpose is – and what our purpose will be.  Most of us have multiple purposes throughout life.  Many of us have multiple purposes right now!; one purpose at work, one at home, one at church, etc.  As we get older, our purpose may change, but that is no surprise to God because He has prepared our work and our purpose before He even created us.

Some people may struggle with this saying, “but I don’t know my purpose.”  God loves us so much.  He desires to be in relationship with us.  He wants us to seek Him and He will be found.  If we ask, He will answer.  If you don’t know what your tasks should be, what your purpose is, ask God.  In His time, He’ll let you know.  If you already know – then get out there and do it!  We are to be walking in our purpose!

I’m praying for you!
