The Significance of PURPOSE
|
Posted By: Ann Mack on April 21, 2019 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~ JEREMIAH 29:11 January 9, 2019 Finalized January 15, 2019 God does everything with PURPOSE and HE expects us to take HIS mandate seriously enough to get in position to honor our GOD-DIRECTED PURPOSE! Each and everyone of us is created by God with a purpose for a purpose! I can not express just how gratifying it has been to know and walk out my purpose with FAITH! Developing a relationship with the Lord to know HIM for myself 😇 has given me new meaning and direction. It has opened my eyes to HIS love, mercy and grace. I am so grateful for HIS persistence and willingness not to give up on me. I am truly excited about how God communicates with me. Yes, HE does communicate with us ALL, but right now I want to emphasize what it means to me to have a personal relationship with the Lord! Not many people understand the TRUE nature of the importance of developing and having a relationship with God to appreciate HIM knowing you better than you know yourself (flaws and all). The intimacy of getting to know HIM and HIM knowing you based on your personality which speaks to who you REALLY are and reveals who you were created to be! With that said, God knows what HE put on the inside of me. In fact, HE knows what HE put on the inside of each and everyone of us in getting the desired GLORY through relationship. In addition, not just our relationship with HIM, but our interaction and relationship with others! Once a week, I have a regularly scheduled medical appointment with a natural healer who has been placed in my life and positioned by God in fulfilling her PURPOSE on so many different levels on behalf of the KINGDOM. A loving and caring individual with a heart for wanting to heal and treat people with open arms to restore their spirits! While in her office during my 1/9/2019 medical appointment, I had the pleasure of meeting two (2) beautiful God-believing God-fearing women (Katherine and Karen); and, we, literally, got lost in conversation about the goodness of the Lord. Although I have not had the opportunity to reconnect with them since that day, I know we will have many more coversations like that one in the near future. There is nothing like sharing and gleaning one from another as we show love and appreciation for the Lord. Scripture states: where two are more are gathered in the name of the Lord, HE is there in the midst (see Matthew 18:20). God does nothing halfway and HE knows how to express HIS gratitude for our obedience and faithfulness. You just have to be willing to be flexible and available to hearing HIS HEART to receive and give, learn and grow, communicate and glean! Nothing is by happenstance or coincidental. It is all by design; DIVINE PURPOSE! Sincerely, Dr. Ann Gwen Mack If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
