“Deep in our hearts, we all want to find and fulfill a purpose bigger than ourselves. Only such a larger purpose can inspire us to heights we know we could never reach on our own. For each of us the real purpose is personal and passionate: to know what we are here to do, and why.” ~ Os Guinness
“Most of us are looking for a calling, not a job. Most of us…have jobs that are too small for our spirit.” ~ Nora Watson
“We ask to know the will of God without guessing that his will is written into our very beings. We perceive that will when we discern our gifts.” ~ Elisabeth O’ Connor
“Your God-given design is a gift from your Creator, and it gives you essential clues about what God wants you to do in the world.” ~ Kevin & Kay Marie Brennfleck, Live Your Calling
“The life of faith opens our eyes to see ourselves and the world around us differently. The closer we walk with God, the more we understand God’s agenda for humanity and our part in it.” ~ Kevin & Kay Marie Brennfleck
“Before being called to something, we are called to Someone. Before we are called to do, we are called to be. Our primary calling is to be in a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ…God created us and knows our strengths, weaknesses, dreams, and fears. In spite of our imperfections, God loves us perfectly and completely. He wants us close to Him. He calls us to belong to Him.” ~ Kevin & Kay Marie Brennfleck, authors of Live Your Calling
“It isn’t what you wish to do, it’s what you will do for God that transforms your life.” ~ Henrietta Mears

Exactly what I needed to read and ponder this a.m. Feeling like my “get up and go” is GONE….I am reminded that my real passion lies in HIS purpose for my life. Nothing I could muster up even compares. I’m printing these out……and thanking God for the blessing you are!

Not sure which one I like the best ;)I must say from experience though that the closer I walk with God the more He opens my eyes to what He requires of me. Have a joyful day! Thanks for taking the time during this busy week to inspire us!!!
