Be Amazing
What was in God's mind when he created you? What words did He speak to create you? When you look in the mirror do you speak the words to yourself? Do you call yourself wonderful? Do you call yourself a prophet to the nations? See yourself the way God intended. Be beautiful. Be creative. Be amazing.
Jeremiah 1:5(NIV) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Purpose
pur·pose
noun
the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.
have as one's intention or objective.
What is the reason you exist? If you died today, what would the world miss? What were you created for? What's your purpose? You were created for a reason, an objective. Your life has direction and meaning. There is a plan. Maybe you were created to love. Maybe you were created to dance or sing. Maybe you are a gifted architect or designer. You were given gifts that are uniquely yours. Maybe it's the gift of gab. What are you good at? Are you athletically inclined? Your talents can help you identify your purpose. Live life knowing you are here for a reason. Live intentionally. Live on purpose.
"My purpose is far greater than my pain." -Foxy Brown
"I got a greater purpose. God put something in my heart to get across, and that's what I'm going to focus on, using my voice as an instrument and doing what needs to be done."- Kendrick Lamar
Humility
There were two times I was reminded of how small we are in this universe; when I looked out of a window of a plane, and when I looked at the night sky. I thought about God's meticulous craftsmanship. I was humbled by the fact that just like those stars and planets, he made me too. God formed me in my mother's womb. God ordered my steps. I was fearfully and wonderfully made. Armed with all those affirmations, I am still called to serve, and you are too. What have you been divinely gifted with? How can you make someone else's life better? When you recognize your gifts and how they can be used to serve others, you honor God and tap into true humility.
"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less." -C. S. Lewis
