I start my day laying in bed sometimes thinking to myself... what is the point of me? Why am I here is always the first question I awake to. It never seems to amaze me how quick God replies to me. "I have a purpose for you." He says it so gently and at the same time with a push into me to inquire more from him about this purpose.
I do get excited, very excited, right away! I am not a jump right into the day kind of person. Although I am a disciplined person. I wake daily at 4am but my wondering keeps me in bed, thinking I will fall back to slumber till 6am. Where I am then dragged into the day.
I instantly pray. I pray for strength. Strength to get up and go in search of the purpose I have been called to by God to fulfill. I proceed to make my coffee while I am in prayer and in thought. Praying in the mind is another way God hears us. Taking my coffee, I go to my chair. In my quiet place, I am reminded how much I am loved accepted and wanted by God. The many reminders hang on my wall but the best is the Bible. To me it is the love letter I had been waiting to receive.
With in the pages, I find the many little love notes that tell me what I am worth, what I can do, why I have been chosen to this purpose, and yes, believe it or not, what that purpose is. My favorite revelation that is shared with me is that there is a point to me.
This is the best feeling in the world: to know that I have a point, that I have a purpose, and that I am worth someone putting trust into to follow through on this everyday. And why? Because I am loved. This brings me joy. It fills my heart so much that I overflow. With what could I possibly overflow with? Love. It is the 2nd best part of my day. When God says to me... I created you to love. To go love others who wake everyday just as I do feeling pointless, not knowing if they are worth it and questioning if they themselves are loved. It always makes me wonder... have they received God's love letter yet? I surely don't want anyone to be without love and especially without the love of Jesus given what I have been shown. I am then filled with motivation to start my day knowing I was made for this and I better get out there and share it!
