What is Your Purpose?

Here is one side of a blessing I gave a dear friend. She is one of those people, when you hear her story, you marvel that God brought her through such trial. She is not bitter, but beautiful, with a gift for remembering and recording with discernment, and a hunger for more of God. I was so happy when I knew I got to make her a blessing. It came quickly, like I was going along with what God was doing. It is so great to feel that sense of collaboration. So many times it is hard fought, but this was a happy, smooth process. I am thankful. Below is the text on the blessing since it is hard to read in the image. 

"I remember the days of long ago;

I meditate on all your works

and consider what your hands have done.

I spread out my hands to you;

my soul thirsts for you like a parched land."

- from the Psalms

" A bird does not sing because it has an answer.

It sings because it has a song."

- Chinese Proverb

"God has a purpose for each one of us, a work for each one to do, a place for each one to fill, 

an influence for each one to exert, a likeness to His dear Son for each one to manifest, and then, 

a place for each one to fill in His holy Temple."

- Arthur C.A. Hall

May you be blessed this day with a strong sense of God's loving presence and purpose!
