I’m so grateful for this! I’ve always felt called to serve, to be useful in ministry - I’ve known that I had purpose in this since I was a little girl, but there came a time when I thought my mistakes, my sin, had disqualified me. I thought that I had ruined my chance to BE and to DO all that God created me for - that I had missed my opportunity to live a life of purpose.
But that’s not how it works. This is when I really learned about grace - when I understood that God’s purposes and plans look so different than our own. I learned what beauty from ashes looks like, what the oil of joy from mourning feels like and how to put on the garment of praise while dealing with a spirit of despair. I learned how God works things that were meant for evil into good for those who love Him and are called according to HIS purpose.
And so, my journey into God’s purpose continues. . . #yourjourneytobeingwhole #forgiven #childofgod #goodgoodfather #createdonpurpose #calledandchosen #shalom #dailydevotional
