Finding Life Purpose Day 2 - You are not an accident!
Every individual on this earth is not an accident. We are here for a reason and should be on the road to finding life purpose if we do not already know what our purpose may be. “[…]for nothing in your life is arbitrary. It’s all for purpose.” This is Day 2’s journal of The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren if you don’t have it go get it now click here now. Today we will be digging deep.
Thinking About My Purpose
Point to Ponder: I am not an accident.
Verse to Remember : “I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born.” Isaiah 44:2 (CEV)
Question to Consider: I know that God uniquely created me. What areas of my personality, background, and physical appearance am I struggling to accept?
Where to begin? Finding Life Purpose. I am not an accident. I am fully accepting of this and this point to ponder drives home the reason why I am on this journey to finding life purpose. Because I am not an accident there is a reason I am here and from yesterday we learned that its not about us. I am sharing my innermost thoughts with the world right now because finding life purpose is much bigger than me. God uniquely created me and I honestly am struggling to accept some aspects of my physical appearance, personality, and background.
My background: I grew up without my mom which led me to some situations I’m not particularly proud of. Although I know my father did his best being a widower, I still yearned for something more and because I didn’t have a mom I thought I was lacking love. So I tried to get what I thought was love anyway I could. This led me down some wrong paths. Inspite of that I know that these lines in Russell Kelfer’s poem validate my new acceptance of my background:
“[…]No, that trauma you faced was not easy And God wept that it hurt you so; But it was allowed to shape your heart So that into his likeness you’d grow. You are who you are for a reason[…]”
Shortly after I turned on the wrong paths of life my cousin reached out to me and saved me by reintroducing me to God.
My cousin was finding life purpose and was trying to share it with me.
Had I not gone through my trials and pains I may not have been as receiving. The relationship that I now have with my cousin may not be as strong as it is today.
My personality: I’ve stated before that I am a very introverted person and this is one trait that I struggle to accept, because I do like to socialize and I like being by myself as well. They contradict and this annoys me so much. However, I know God has uniquely created me to be social so that I can share my purpose. As well as introverted so that I can focus on building myself to be better and spend time in meditation to seek him.
My physical appearance: Don’t get me wrong I feel that I am very pretty, however there are certain aspects of my appearance that I struggle with. For the past 4 to 5 years I have wanted to do youtube videos. However, my fears of what others will say about my flaws have stopped me. (Post on getting over fear coming soon) Over the years I have convinced myself into believing that I was embracing my flaws and that I didn’t really care, but I did and caring what others think is a big hindrance to anyone. We have a purpose and other's thoughts should never matter when we have a gift, testimony, story, opportunity, or anything beneficial to others to share. God is waiting to bless us for doing what we’ve been called to do.
