#MADEFOR: Discovering The Purpose Planted Inside Of YouSample

Do you ever feel like you’re drifting, unable to see the next step, uncomfortable with where you are and yearning to do more? We often wonder why we get to that in-between place, so close to seeing our purposes but still unable to reach them. 

Sometimes the biggest obstacle standing between us and our destiny is…US. The moment we give up our preconceived notions of what life should look like, what success should look like, and what happiness looks like—the moment we let go of our timelines and our perfect plans—is the moment that God finally finds the breathing room to guide us toward our lives—the life He has for us, which is so much more beautiful and successful and happy than we can measure. 

Beauty, success, and happiness often have different definitions in God’s kingdom. We often fear the discomfort that comes with following God step by step into the future. We often wonder how trials and struggles could ever bring us earth’s brand of happiness—when they should be defined by God’s brand. Today, think about the timelines, plans, and concepts of happiness that you’re holding onto, whether you’re clutching them with white knuckles or keeping tabs on them despite making the choice to trust God. Make the choice to lose your life and find the life God has for you.
