Do you know that the solution to all your problems is under one umbrella?
I may be exaggerating, but what I have discovered would bless you because it has blessed me tremendously_ I am not kidding.

Do you find yourself needy to friends; always seeking their attention and even opinion? I am not telling you to be an island, but the point here is ‘being needy’.

Do you find yourself always confused about life? Things seem not to go your way, even the trivial things.

You find that people don’t value you as you expect them to.

WORRY NO MORE DARLING!

I was once like you until now.

I am not trying to be spiritual, but please open up your mind here for me, for just a few minutes. I need you to be open minded on this one no matter your religion or belief.

I am not preaching Christ here, but I am going to share with you a discovery which the Lord showed me _ a discovery which has helped me.

I used to be needy (lacking self-confidence, desiring constant affirmation), always seeking attention from people, and being angry at the slightest denial or feeling of denial of attention from somebody. I used to be someone you wouldn’t want as a friend, because I would worry the ‘hell’ out of you…lol.

But God in his mercy just revealed this to me.

First, He told me that the problems I have been through are nothing to crush me, so I shouldn’t allow them to.
Suddenly, like a spark of light, it hit me _ I was delivered.

I realized that yes, I have gone through problems (no two ways about that), but somebody somewhere has gone through worse situations comparatively and has survived to become a lawyer (her dream) or something beneficial, so I need not allow ‘my’ problems to crush me.

Yes, the problems were not good, but they had their reasons.
They will all make sense one day.

Just immediately, I ‘forgot’ my pains, I refused to make a mountain out of an anthill.

I rather crushed the anthill to be below me instead, so I could walk over it to my DESTINY designed by God for me.

Also, he told me something about my purpose. He actually showed it to me.

I used to be needy as I said earlier, but even though I have ‘crushed’ my problems, I could be a problem myself or even create other problems with my own hands.

So what do I do?

What he showed me wasn’t a solution or an answer to the above question, but it was my deliverance.

He said, “If I should concentrate and give my attention to fulfilling my purpose, I wouldn’t be needy, because I would be busy pursuing him (my purpose in him).”

And That Was It!

I have had the opportunity to know my purpose or at least some of them. They are interesting, but they are so huge that I can’t think of anything to do but to rely on him and let him lead me.

In the course of relying on Him, and allowing him to lead me, I kill 2 birds with one stone; I work at my salvation too (because, if I should remain in sin, my prayers wouldn’t get to Him to be answered [Isaiah 59:2]). I have to remain Holy.

This is not to say that my purpose / your purpose has to be Christian-based/religious.
NO!

It could be anything.

But the root is God. And without the root, no tree can survive the storms or even live.
Yes!

Your purpose may be singing, speaking, drawing/painting, etc.

Since you didn’t create yourself, and it is written in the Bible somewhere that God told Jeremiah that He knew him before he was born [Jeremiah 1:5], know that yours could be same too.
He knew you before you were born; while you were still in your mother’s womb.
Did you put that passion in you? NO.
Did you put that interest in you? NO.
How about that love and dreams? No. It all came from WITHIN you, and it is only GOD who can satisfy /fulfill you through your purpose.

Your purpose wouldn’t make you needy for attention. You may want the attention, but you wouldn’t be needy for it.

Your purpose would keep you busy.
It would keep you valuable.
You wouldn’t feel wasted away. You wouldn’t be feeling bored every time. You would have things to create or make, and that alone is fun…
You wouldn’t be in a rush/stressed to be something you are not because you know yourself (your purpose)

Your Purpose is YOU!

What you see today about yourself is not you, but an adopted self (environmental influence).

Discover You (your purpose), and you would live happily ever after.

Discover your purpose; not only your passion, but your whole purpose. What were you brought on earth to do? [If you dwell only on your passion, you may be ‘under-living’. Your passion may be the start of your purpose, but may not be the finish or the whole fraction of your purpose. Seek the totality of your purpose as you start with your passion. Don’t get too busy or caught up in only your passion. You could be good at something else also. Don’t let the fame and money deceive you. Make sure you live_ don’t under live!… ]

No matter how little your purpose may look in your eyes, let it come out. It is needed. Someone needs it.

Some people just came to the world to do comedy, and no one can beat them about that_they are incredible. Others came to sing, maybe laugh… Lol, drum, what else? Find it. Should you find it, you would never be a slave to the world or the ‘systems of the world’. Even in the midst of hardship, you would soar like an Eagle, because, YOU ARE PURSUING YOUR PURPOSE.

As a matter of fact, you would even use/need the current of life (hardships and all) to soar like an Eagle.

The eagle doesn’t need calm storms / weather.
The lion doesn’t need only small animals in the Jungle. It got all kinds of animals around him, but it is still the King.

Don’t wait for good moments before you do anything [Ecclesiastes 11:4]; DO IT ANYWAY!
Be the Lion of the tribe of your Purpose… lol
Amen.

Your purpose shapes you. It adds value to yourself even in everything you do, for example in your speech. You wouldn’t talk anyhow if your purpose is speaking or is related to speech. Your purpose would shape you or prep you.

LOOK FOR YOUR PURPOSE. IT IS YOUR HOME (there is no place like home…). WHEN YOU FIND YOUR PURPOSE, PURSUE IT (Don’t just know it, pursue it. Work at it) WITH ALL YOUR HEART, IN GOD. Amen!

Note: Without God, you can do nothing. [John 15:5]

# Don’t let your job (salary source) stop you / kill your purpose in you, and make you vulnerable to the systems of the World.

FIGHT FOR YOUR PURPOSE. YOUR PURPOSE NEEDS YOU. It would make you RICH.
