Hidden Blessings in Finding Your Purpose In Life: Day 5 of The Purpose Driven Life By Rick Warren

“How you define life determines your destiny. Your perspective will influence how you invest your time, spend your money, use your talents, and value your relationships.” - The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

This is an eye opener because it makes me believe that the way I’ve been viewing life has been hindering me from growing. I had always been the type of person to view life as “Everything happens for a reason”. Instead of generalizing life I need to try to see life through God’s eyes which I have to be honest is really hard for me to fathom. I can only rely on what the bible says, what I’m taught as I learn more, and what I feel in my heart.

In The Purpose Driven Life By Rick Warren it says, “The Bible offers three metaphors that teach us God’s view of life: Life is a test, life is a trust, and life is a temporary assignment.”

Thinking About My Purpose

Point to Ponder: Life is a test and a trust.

Verse to Remember: “Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won’t be faithful in large ones.” Luke 16:10a (NLT)

Question to Consider: What has happened to me recently that I now realize was a test from God? What are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me?

Everyday we are tested and trusted. Today I was tested and entrusted with an opportunity to go on a job interview... In the beginning of me starting to work with TAIG/EN I was a wussy and not giving my all. I gave up for one full week in working the business because I had some crazy notion that I couldn’t succeed in this business without funds to invest into it. So I started searching and applying for jobs. My mindset was not completely prepared to take on this new challenge of having faith and believing that I could succeed in this business. Although I was having some setbacks mentally, my mindset was changing, which is why I believe that these upcoming job interviews have manifested. But I digress, this morning I was tested to see how much I wanted this opportunity. Was I willing to do whatever it takes to be available for the interview? Yes, I was. I called everyone I knew and trusted with my daughter to babysit so that I can go to the job interview tomorrow. I believe that God is testing me to see am I ready for what he is about to do in my life. God wants to know that when he calls and opportunity knocks I will answer. He wants to be sure that I wont be a wussy and give up because things get challenging and I have to do some things that make me uncomfortable.

I learned a lot about myself today. I have a lot of pride and we all know that pride cometh before a fall. So I had to chuck up my pride and ask for help because I can’t do everything by myself. We have to know when to ask for help and kick that pride to the curb. (That was completely off topic, but for someone.) I also learned that as long as I take action expecting my desired result in return it will manifest itself (what’s your mindset?).

What have you been tested and entrusted with in finding your purpose in life?

Yesterday I was tested and entrusted with money. Yes, I’m talking about money and this is going to scare someone away because they fear money and truly need to reassess their relationship with it. However, for mother’s day I was blessed with monetary funds and I spent at least 85% of Sunday trying to figure out what I would spend my funds on and even researching some of the things I wanted to buy. In my spirit I kept getting urges to make sure that I put my tithes and offering to the side because it is not mine.

No thing on this earth is yours or mine we have been entrusted with these items and must take great care of them. One of the greatest matters I feel that God has entrusted me with is his/my daughter. So I am making sure that I am and can provide for her ALL her hearts desires so that she can live life and live it abundantly. Which I know and have known is apart of my purpose in life. In order to do these things I have to make sure that I am ready when the phone rings and there's a knock at the door. I also have to make sure I do what  is asked of me when I am entrusted with anything. I leave you with these questions and I hope to chat with you later about them. Are you answering the door when opportunity knocks? What is your relationship with money and are you giving?

Are you finding your purpose in life and fulfilling it?

P.S. Earlier I spoke on mindset which reminded me of what I read in The Purpose Driven Life By Rick Warren Earlier –

“The Bible says, ‘Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God.’”

It’s important not to conform yourself to the standards of this world because when you do, you miss out on your blessings, your transformations, and your heart’s desires that you’ve been searching and reaching for so diligently. If I had been listening to what the world was saying about Empower Network I would not be here sowing this seed into your life right now. I would not be transforming and receiving blessings left and right or finding my purpose in life. I can tell you now that I have never worked with a company or a team of people who encourage and challenge you in finding your purpose in life and then tell you to live it and to always be honest. This is unheard of in today’s society and in this industry.
