WHAT were you BORN for?

 

GOD to prophet Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 1:5

King James Version

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; 

and before thou camest forth out of the womb 

I sanctified thee, 

and I ordained thee a prophet 

unto the nations.

Ever wondered what you were born for?

I used to marvel at people who seemed so in place.

So organized, so sure of who they were.

So sure of what they wanted to be when they grew up.

Ask most kids, and they'd know.

I don't think I had that gift.

It took me a long time to know.

Through lots of hits, and misses.

Late bloomer, some would say.

All I knew is that I loved to sketch, paint, write, and read.

For the longest time, I didn't really know my place in the world.

Only by being born again did all come into place.

Now I knew the reason for those things.

For all the odd jobs.

GOD wanted me to write.

He wanted me to create many blogs, books, and posts.

So I could tell you all I came to know.

If I had not been born again, I'd probably be still coasting along.

Searching.

Waiting.

Praying.

GOD had been watching me, all along.

He made me go through many experiences.

Sweet, sour, painful.

All lessons to learn from.

Everything has a purpose in GOD's world.

All your gifts and talents blossom, when GOD is in your heart.

ESPECIALLY if you desire to serve others well.

And to SERVE Him.

Serving Him means you love Him.

Serving others means you love them.

That you are listening to what JESUS taught you.

You are able to make full use of your gifts, because the SPIRIT of GOD is in you.

And because He is, you are eternally humbled, and grateful.

By ourselves, without JESUS, what could we do?

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

Waste not those gifts that you have.

Don't worry if you can't figure it all out yet.

Don't worry if you're not being paid your worth.

Who knows your true worth?

Only GOD does.

Get to know Him first, and you will know your true worth.

Serve others, as SPIRIT guides you, and you will do just fine.

If there seems to be chaos in your life right now, know that you need to seek GOD.

You need to pray to Him.

If you got fired at your job, surely, it's for GOD's purpose.

He may want you to seek Him, to serve Him, or to change jobs.

There is a message, in every challenge.

Sometimes, it's pure common sense.

All I know, from being in the world long enough, is that EVERYTHING serves GOD's purpose.

Unbelievers won't be able to figure it out.

Only by believing in JESUS, in having His SPIRIT in us, will things become clear.

I assure you of that.

Focus on CHRIST alone.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

Why?

Let Scripture answer you.

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

Make use of the gifts GOD gave you.

That you may better serve others.

Don't focus on money, or possessions.

We were meant to love.

That's really what work is for.

Mark 12:30

King James Version

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind, 

and with all thy strength: 

this is the first commandment.

Mark 12:31

King James Version

31 And the second is like, 

namely this, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

There is none other commandment greater than these.

Matthew 22:40

King James Version

40 On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.

PRAY, to know, what you were born for.

Pray, to know, how to love.

GOD has much to tell you.

The SEARCH is OVER

 

John 4:10

King James Version

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, 

If thou knewest the gift of God, 

and who it is that saith to thee, 

Give me to drink; 

thou wouldest have asked of him, 

and he would have given thee living water.

I was once a very thirsty person.

Always thirsting for knowledge.

Always searching for truth.

That thirst was finally quenched, when GOD made me born again.

It started out strangely that day.

Where it seemed to be a fruitless day, everything finally came to fruition.

The HOLY SPIRIT of GOD led me to two Bible prophecy videos which started the ball rolling.

The knowledge that this is a very disturbed world.

A world waiting for correction.

That we are all steeped in sin.

That, only by GOD's GRACE, are we still standing here.

That JESUS is our only HOPE.

That He is our only TRUTH.

That LIFE springs from Him.

That He is the ONLY WAY back to GOD.

Many things the HOLY SPIRIT taught me.

Every moment of the day, for nearly 33 months, straight.

It's all on my blogs, and books.

The BIBLE has so many treasures.

Apostle John said something significant:

John 21:25

King James Version

25 And there are also many other things 

which Jesus did, 

the which, 

if they should be written every one, 

I suppose that even the world itself 

could not contain the books that should be written. 

Amen.

Now that GOD led me to the Bible, I am happy, peaceful, grateful, content, blessed.

For the Bible holds GOD's TRUTH.

The search is over.

I've found truth, through Scripture.

The Holy Spirit teaches me each day.

He makes Scripture easy to understand.

Especially if you have a childlike heart.

A very eager, teachable, open heart.

With no sense of pride, or ego.

With no sense of entitlement.

Just meekness, at how little we understand GOD's WAYS.

But through the Bible, we can begin to.

Living by the Bible has become my main focus now.

It tells me everything I need to be, think, say, and do.

To be acceptable in the eyes of GOD.

There is no desire to be accepted by the world.

There is only a desire that all listen to the WORD of GOD.

Before it becomes too late.

GOD did not forget me.

He knew I searched for Him.

All my life.

He knew, I wouldn't stop, till I did.

And He was just there, watching my goings-on.

Knowing how very thirsty I was.

Knowing only through Him, could I find nourishment.

I thirst no more.

John 4:14

King James Version

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water 

that I shall give him shall never thirst; 

but the water that I shall give him 

shall be in him a well of water 

springing up into everlasting life.

Isaiah 12:2-3

King James Version

2 Behold, 

God is my salvation; 

I will trust, 

and not be afraid: 

for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; 

he also is become my salvation.

3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water 

out of the wells of salvation.

John 10:10

King James Version

10 The thief cometh not, 

but for to steal, 

and to kill, 

and to destroy: 

I am come that they might have life, 

and that they might have it more abundantly.
