“He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Mathew 9:37-38 NLT
I would wager Famous does not have difficulty finding his purpose. I mean, he is a dog, and he does it very nicely. He knows he is to watch the house while I am away. And although it would be nice, he is not confused into thinking he is supposed to clean the house too. (And in case some of you sense a bit of disappointment, I will quickly say I am delighted that he can be trusted to not destroy the house while I am gone.)
However, some of us go around wondering if we are doing what we were meant to do, if we are in the right relationship, or what is life going to demand of us as we move through the years ahead. I have concluded these questions are less bothersome as we age, even if the answers are just as unclear.
But regardless of our age or circumstance, whether we are married, dating, or single, or whether we are confident in life or struggling to get by, there is a huge reason for purposeful living each and everyday: being the person God has created and using our gifts and talents to pray and to go. We pray that everyone find fulfillment by being the creature God has intended. This will lead us into the fields and enable others to follow.
Father, forgive me for only see my purpose through my own eyes and desires. Help me to open my heart to your guidance.
