Good morning. I have another question for it. This must be the question week. Do you know what your purpose is? Do you know what your purpose in life is? Do you know? That's one of the greatest level of seeking for understand that you can ever imagine. Good morning, I'm Jeffrey Paul with your morning inspiration, and I want to really bring it to an awareness that your purpose is important.
Do you know that psychology sheers that a person who has purpose lives longer lives healthier, has more energy, has more joy. Isn't that the thing that most everyone is seeking for? I mean, seeking for that knowledge to know that you're in the depths of Jeff's a lately, what you were created for, well, the very scripture that I'm gonna share with you today that identifies the importance of this,
and then the other scriptures that instruct us how to find a purpose. You know, I have gone through probably a multitude. I'm going to say everyone because the multitude of, of testing and evaluation and assessments of who am I in, in what's my characteristics and what am I an ABC or G or LBN, whatever it might be. What am I,
because all of these assessments have you take a test. And that test though is on the conscious level. It's on the conscious level. What you know, where you're at, what you maybe think you'd like to do, but it's not on the inner, inner, true inner level, because there's no way for a test or an instrument that a psychologist or a counselor would use can get deep.
Now, those are good things. They're good things to give you some kind of markers to, to find that true north in your life. But there's a purpose you were given that purpose, right from the womb. You know, Jeremiah chapter one talks about the fact that God knew him in the womb and had prepared and planned his purpose. Now he went a lot of different ways,
like all of us do, but the purpose was within his heart. It was written by God's finger on his heart, as it is you and you and me. I want you to realize that that's really a truth, but we're all seeking because we get kind of mesmerized by life. We get overwhelmed by life. We get set back by in life.
We have experiences that cause us to hit the proverbial ceiling, the glass ceiling or the wall. If you been there, have you been seeking your purpose? Is that a question that rises up or have you have buried it now? Like, you know, it just never going to happen because of your age, because of the circumstances, because of your situation.
Well, if so in the comments, put hash mark, purpose, hash mark, purpose, hash mark is the numbers. It's right above number three. So you shift hit the hash mark and then purpose, put it in the conference right now because the issue, let me see here. I just realized that Randy sent me a note that the issue is that the reality to purpose comes from only one source.
The one that created you remember, I was talking about Jeremiah in Jeremiah. The reality is he was given purpose in his heart before he even entered this world because God's plan was on his life. Like God's plan is on each and every one of our lives. Let me take you to a beautiful scripture out of the book of Proverbs and, and really just give you an understanding that will give you the representation of what I'm talking about.
It says here in Proverbs chapter 19 verse 21, a person may have many ideas. Boy, if you live with me or if you're a part of my team, they would just, their eyes would get this big because every morning I wake up with more ideas every day I have expansion on those ideas and it's like for creative people, it's hard not to think creative ideas,
but it can be a hindrance. If it's taken you in the wrong direction or outside of the direction that God has planned for us and prepared us for an in called us to is it talks about in Romans chapter eight, verse 28 through 39, but it goes further and says again, I'll start in the beginning of verse 21 person may have many ideas concerning God's plan for his life or her life,
but only the designs of God's purpose will succeed in the end. That creates the ability that we really don't have the understanding, unless we go to God to really get our plans. You know, Proverbs 16 talks about, we have lots of plans, but we need to come to God and place our plans before him and allow his plans to really be the plans that give us the ability to see what's before us to see the goal that Philippians chapter three,
verses 12 through 14 talks about that. We forget what's behind us and strive to what we've been called to a purpose. What's the purpose. Well, I can't give you that answer. I'm sorry. And neither can any counselor and neither can any father, mother, neither can any other person on the face of the earth. They can give you good advice and they can give you some good direction,
especially if they love you and care for you. And they're seeking the Lord for you. But the only way, and I'm going to underline this, I generally say anything only, but the only way they send this scripture is that you and I must go before the Lord and do our due diligence to seek back into the womb back even before we were in the womb and see in the presence of the Lord.
What's my purpose. Now you might think, well, Jeff, I'm going to be a monk. Isn't me. I'm a priest. I'm going to be a pastor. Am I going to minute in may that you'd be, be the best barber in the world. It might mean that you're the best lawyer in the world. It might be you you're the best mother at home.
Caring for your children as unto the Lord is it talks about in collections. You see purpose is not a religious thing. Purpose is a God thing. Purpose is what gives energy and inspiration, motivation, and empowerment for your life, but not the one or two things that you think are your purpose, because how happy are you if you're not in your purpose?
Well, some of us in many of you have not had the opportunity for a long time to be in that state that you love what you're doing. Did you do it with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength. And even if you don't use the words you're doing it unto the Lord purpose is what drives the encouragement and excitement of life.
Abundant life. As Jesus said in John 10, 10, he came to give us, but without the holy spirit, without God's understanding without God's relationship unveiling, breaking through the veil, breaking through the curtains, giving you insight, you're just running a race, like a hamster on a wheel, and you might make it that we all go and really good.
But at the end, as our proverb says, at the end, only his only God's purpose will succeed to make you happy to make you joyful, to make you fulfilled, to hear the voice of God out of Matthew three 17, say you are my child. I am well pleased with you. So seeking your purpose. I can't tell you what that is.
I seek my every day and continue to hear his voice, to be sure that I keep in the do North, keep on the path. It's narrow keeping in clear sight. The purpose that have given you the scriptures today about it's time to find your purpose. It's time to put all your energy into your purpose, but you must seek first God's purpose to be revealed in you through the holy spirit who will and his promise and will never fail show you The,
then it's up to you to walk in it, to be joyful, to be strong and encouraged, to make a difference in the world. Find your purpose, seek him. Let's see it tomorrow. Oh, by the way, stop only it's Giovanni's birthday today. And I just sent her pictures of the first birthday of her life and from the hospital when she was born.
So all of you would you just put up a prayer of Thanksgiving that Giovanni and of course Valentino, but today's Geovanna is focused day of her birthday, of her seventh birthday of her life. And boy, she has life and purpose exploding in her. And I just ask you to remember her in your prayers today. Have a beautiful day, see you tomorrow.
