For everything, absolutely everything,
above and below, visible and invisible,
rank after rank after rank of angels—
everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.
Colossians 1:16 MSG
Do you find yourself frustrated, confused or wondering what your purpose is? Why are you here? What is the reason for your existence? Do you feel like a fish out of water? The more you struggle with what you want, what you think you should be, the more tangled you become... like a fish caught in a net!
Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end;
attention to God leads us out into the open,
into a spacious, free life.
Romans 8:6 MSG
Self-help is no help at all.
Self-sacrifice is the way, my way,
to finding yourself, your true self.
Matthew 16:25 MSG
Taking time each day to spend with God, to learn about Him, you will learn about yourself as well. God will begin to speak, stirring in you, a life He created for you, before you were even born.
It’s in Christ that we find out who we are
and what we are living for.
Ephesians 1:11 (MSG)
Prayer:
Jesus, as I continue to seek you, I pray that you will help me to learn more about you; and more about who you created me to be. ~Amen
