Born For More

Are you settling for whatever comes your way?

Are you letting what happens to you dictate your attitude and the direction of your life?

Don’t settle!  You were born for more.  If you have a genuine desire to do something that could positively impact others then find a way to do it.

Commit to pursuing your passion and fully using the talents and gifts that you have been given.

You may need to start small, but start.  Don’t worry about having everything figured out.  It will work itself out.

The world needs more dreamers and doers.

Think you have more to give? 
Me too.

Let’s go.

Questions to Ponder and Pursue

1.  What is my genuine desire or passion that could positively impact others, and how can I start pursuing it, even if it’s in a small way?

2.  Am I allowing external circumstances to dictate my attitude and the direction of my life, or am I committed to using my talents and gifts to make a positive difference, regardless of challenges?

Jeremiah 1:5 ESV‬‬

[5]  “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Have you taken a moment to ponder the profound notion that God intimately knew you before your very existence?  Consider how this awareness can transform your outlook on life, infusing it with purpose and boundless potential.

Imagine God, the ultimate Creator, fashioning you not merely for a mundane 9-5 existence but gifting you with unique talents and abilities.  

Envision yourself consecrated, set apart for a purpose beyond the ordinary, destined to use these gifts to radiate His glory.

Discovering God’s purpose for your life might not unfold as explicitly as it did for Jeremiah, but rest assured that as you cultivate and employ your talents in service to others, you bring honor to Him.

Picture yourself as an integral character in God’s grand narrative.  Born for a specific role, you’re called to share and manifest His love in the world around you—your world, distinct and unparalleled.  You hold a singular opportunity to make a difference.

Embrace faithfulness in every task, regardless of its difficulty, danger, or daunting nature.  You were uniquely born for these moments, and God, in His guiding grace, will lead you through, ensuring you fulfill your purpose with resilience and strength. 

Be Blessed!

Questions to Ponder and Pursue

1.  Have you ever reflected on the idea that God knew you before you were born, and how does this awareness impact your perspective on your life’s purpose and potential?

2.  In what ways can you actively use your talents and gifts to bring honor to God, recognizing that you play a unique part in His story within the specific context of your life, work, and relationships?
