Finding Purpose

3/30/2021

Psalm 57:2 " I cry our to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me."

This morning I had a crisis of purpose. This happens to me quite frequently when I feel like I am not doing all that God would have me do. I know, ultimately, that I am called to share the Gospel with others, but what form this takes always seems to allude me. I am so burdened for this world that I have gone from a  personal outreach mission to wanting to literally shout the Good News from the rooftop. People need the mercy, peace, and love of Jesus. 

I truly feel that we, as believers, need to stop being complacent and largely silent during this dark time in our world. We will be persecuted for our faith in Christ, the Bible is clear on this point, so why do we hide? It is not that we should strive for boldness in our faith and not waver. Sharing the Gospel is the single most important thing any of us can ever do for another person. No amount of money, worldly success, fame, or possessions will ever truly be fulfilling, for all those things will pass away, but one soul coming to know Jesus is worth more that anything this earth can ever provide. We are called to be aliens in this world, knowing we will be misunderstood and may even be perceived as dangerous. The unknown can be frightening, but a life of faith is truly the only path to peace. 

It is time to share the Gospel without reservation, love boldly, and  proclaim the reality of saving grace through Christ.
