Purpose. God designed it for everyone to have daily. Each day we live we are to operate fully in it. However, finding your purpose is something that many people struggle with especially for women. Since we were given the gift to be natural nurturers, we can often lose ourselves in what others would like us to become. We often masks who we are to please those we love the most. If there is any chance of stepping out of the status quo to become fully operational in our purpose, it is at times met with indifference and strife. This often results in women retreating and never living in our purpose. However, we need only to be responsible to the one who purposed us.......God.
I recently came across an article in the Global Grind of a few women who were disrespecting themselves at a recent annual, highly-publicized sporting event. It was stated these women disrespected themselves in many ways. When I heard this story, my heart was so heavy. Judging not these women's behavior, I just simply believe these women have not stepped into their purpose yet. I pray it will be revealed to them soon. Women who do not know their purpose can be dangerous to themselves more than anyone else. However, women who have came into the knowledge of their purpose are dangerous (in a positive manner) to their families, communities and everyone around them!
One of my favorite biblical stories is that of the women at the well. Jesus and his disciples were traveling and stopped in Samaria. The disciples traveled on a half-mile further to buy food. However, Jesus stayed back at the well . It was the hottest time of the day. Soon a Samaritan woman came by to gather water. He then asked for her to draw him a drink from the well. Jesus gave her a run-down of her life's events. He informed her how many husbands she had. Jesus then continued on telling her that even the husband she is with now, is not her own! He then informed her that if she follows him she could drink living water and never have to thirst again. After giving him a drink, she quickly ran off to tell others of her encounter with Jesus. This women discovered her purpose.
Most of us women will have a "well experience". Usually for any of us to discover our purpose, especially as women, it takes a life-altering situation. This is my story exactly. Like the woman at the well, we all need someone to speak life into us. They often reveal to us what we can be purposed to do. Unfortunately, the valley of our pain and hurt will help usher our purpose in faster than anything else. Truly, would most of us even listen any other way?
In 2013 the race is on! Finding your purpose whether it be to become a magnificent mother, or a dynamic daughter is first priority. So many people nowadays are counting on us to become what we need to become. I mean most women are almost perfect anyway, we just need a little bit of tweaking here and there! (Smile)
Peace and Blessings!
