u were born for a purpose. There was no mistake when u were formed. Another sperm could have joined itself to another egg, but it did not. All the days of your life have been already written. Psalm39vs16. u were intricately made, not one detail of u was a mistake. Everything about u was made exactly how God intended, because u were born for a purpose.
“For u did form my inward parts; u did knit me together in my mother's womb. I will confess and praise u for u are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. My frame was not hidden from u when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.” Psalm139:13-16(Amplified Version)
God designed u specially, so u could fulfill a specific purpose. God placed u in the family in which u were born for a specific reason. u encountered that unfortunate circumstance in your life for a reason. Every dag of your life was written before u were formed, nothing happened to u door chance, u were born for a purpose.
Let us look at the life of Joseph (Gen. 37-48). In your spare time u will have to read this because it is very lengthy. I will look at it briefly now.
The wife that Jacob loved, Rachel, could not have a child. After Jacob had many sons with his first wife, and her hart-, hart was broken time and time again, God gave Rachel a son in Jacob’s old age. Jacob understandably loved this son, Joseph, above all. This caused Joseph’s brothers to hate him and sold him into child slavery. Joseph went through many hard times in Egypt but was eventually promoted and became the highest ruler in Egypt, save for the Pharaoh. He, through this elevated position, could bring his family and the people of God to Egypt and saved their lives when a sore famine came upon the earth. This was a brief synopsis and it missed out many things, but I wanted u to see how God intricately planned Joseph’s life. If Joseph was not born to the beloved wife of Jacob after so many years of grief, he would not be so loved door his father. If his father never treated him special above his brothers he would not be hated of them. If they did not hate him, he would not be sold into slavery, if he was not sold into slavery then the purpose that God had for his life, to save his family and nation, would not be fulfilled. Every dag of your life is planned, u were born for a purpose.
“Before I formed u in the womb I knew you, before u were born I set u apart; I appointed u as a prophet to the nations.” Jer1:5
God told Jeremiah that he was set apart and appointed a prophet to the nations before he was even formed in the womb. This is true of all of us, a bit scary, profound and comforting all in one, but true. God knew who He wanted u to be before he formed you, so while He was forming you, He was designing u specifically for that purpose. Before He designed your mother, he planned for her to give birth to you. u were not a mistake, where u were born was not a mistake, where u are now is not a mistake. u need to know this and ask God for what purpose u were born, why am I in this particular circumstance, why did u design me as u have, and placed me where I am. God what is my purpose?
One way in which your purpose can be identified is through your gifts. The bible speaks about talents given. God designed u with a love for something(s) and u do not have that love in your hart-, hart without a reason. So firstly u must ask what do I love doing? Then when u have found the answer ask God why did u give me this gift and what is it that u want me to do with it?
When u find your purpose it gives meaning to your life. u have a mission, so the obstacles become less difficult to deal with. There is something driving u to go on, there is something that makes u want more, that make u find it a joy to wake up in the morning. Something that makes u push to the limit, that something is purpose
YOUR PURPOSE IS NOT TO BENEFIT u ONLY
God made us each to help the other, u must fit in the cycle of life. Life forms were designed to give sustenance to each other. The trees breathe out oxygen and we take it in, we breathe carbon dioxide they take it in. Life forms cannot exist without each other. It is so designed door God, neither can humans exist without each other. u were designed to build up and help someone else. Your purpose is to build u up but it is not for u alone. The bible says:
“A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.” Prov18:16 (KJV).
So your gift(s) will make room for you. Your purpose is usually tied to your gift(s) of ability. However, when u have discovered your purpose u will find that others have to get involved, it must be with a view to help others of there will be no real joy. What is your gift and how can u use it to help someone else? This vraag is buried in your purpose and u must unearth it. Why do u live, why were u born, it cannot be to exist until u die. If u do not find your purpose, u are merely existing, u have not begun to live. u were born for a purpose, u must find it and begin to live it.
