God's Plan - Specific and Intentional

   
God has given me a passion to help people discover God’s plan for their life.

I want to help people discover God’s plan for their lives so that they will enjoy the fulfillment and satisfaction that only comes when we are doing what our Designer created us to do. God created each of us as unique individuals, with no duplicates. Why? Because each of us has a unique calling by God to accomplish something specific that only we can do perfectly.

Like pieces in a giant jigsaw puzzle, each human is unique and has a specific place in God’s plan where only they fit perfectly. No other human can do what you were designed to do. They may do it, but they won’t do it as well. They may do it, but not with the same degree of satisfaction and enjoyment. It’s a lot of fun to read history and see how true that really is. There has never been another Moses, or King David, or Apostle Paul. Nor has there ever been another Mozart, Michael Angelo, or Abraham Lincoln. No other person can do what God designed you to do, and neither can you do what God designed someone else to do.

What is your passion? What has God designed you to do?

Perhaps you’re wasting your time trying to become someone else, and in the process you’re just getting frustrated. You will never be truly fulfilled and satisfied until you are doing what your Creator designed you to do. So pursue finding God’s plan for your life! Stop wasting your time trying to do what others tell you to do. Get alone with your Creator and ask Him what He designed you for. He wants to tell you! He designed you for that very purpose! Nothing in more important to Him than for you to discover His plan for your life!

But hang on just a minute. It’s scary. In fact, it’s terrifying! Why? Because it’s huge! Your Creator’s plan for your life is something so big and so spectacular that it’s impossible for you to accomplish or achieve it on your own. And that’s the point. That’s part of the plan. It’s so big you can’t do it without God’s help!

God’s plan is for us to turn to Him to discover His plan for our lives, find it impossible and terrifying, and then rely on His power in our lives to carry out His plan. Then, when we see God do the impossible in our lives we have a story to tell the world. The result is that the world will see what God has done, and not what we have done, and they will give God the glory and praise.

Yes, yes, yes! I am with you all the way. His plan, His path, and His voice are all what I want to hear, but the still, soft roar of it all overwhelms me! We rest in you Lord, lead us on!
