"There is a Purpose in this Season"...

Jeremiah 29:11 . This verse was a constant comfort for me during my college days. Whenever I used to go through troubled times this verse assured me that God's plans for me was the best. But after a point it started getting to me because I was so desperate to know what exactly these plans were and was not sure whether all that was happening in my life was his plans. So I started searching for ways I can know his plan, recently I found the answer in the same chapter of the Bible.

If we read below ,

"Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

Jeremiah 29:12‭-‬14 NIV.

And All this whole I was just wandering around like lost sheep within the herd. Yes I was a Christian, I attended Church, Bible studies etc but I missed the key to be a Child of God ie ;Developing a Strong Relationship with my Abha Father . The moment I realised this I ran into his presence started sobbing asking for his forgiveness for my ignorance. God has been touching me so much after, I started rooting myself in his word and spending time in it.It says in

Mark 12:30 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

I asked God Lord how do I love you, I can merely proclaim, but faith without action is vain at times.

God spoke to me about particular areas where I can act in the love of God , those were

1. By Being Faithful Stewards of his Gifts🎁

1 Peter 4:10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

We are always asking God for more and greater things, but are we faithful in the little things that God has given us. We are all precious in the sight of Jesus. He loves us so much that he gave his only son. Are we grateful for the salvation we have. Have been faithful in using that salvation to spread the love of Jesus to others.

2. In our Words

1 Peter 4:12

If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God.

The Tongue is one most powerful part of our body as in the word of God it's clearly written it is a double edged sword. So be very mindful of what you speak. Your words have power to Create and in the same way destroy, so decide on what you want to do with them.

3. In our Actions

1 Peter 4:11 (Cont)

If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Do everything as you are doing it into God. As it says in Mathew, We are called to Serve and not to be served unto. For this we need to Humble ourselves and pray a lot.

4. In Our Thoughts

1Peter 4:2

As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.

Always Ask God to direct your thoughts according to his will. Because when our thoughts are aligned with God's will,our decisions will automatically also be in the same direction.

Finally we all need be

1. Like Minded.

2. Sympathetic

3. Love one another

4. Compassionate

5. Humble

As it says in 1 Peter 3:8.

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. Hope this will be a Blessing to you as it was for me. God bless you all.
