Rediscover

What is your purpose here on this Earth? What has God been calling you to do? Sometimes, as humans, we lose track of what is really important in this short life. We take our eyes off what really matters, and we start focusing on little, insignificant things that waste our lives away. When we start doing things that we want to do instead of doing the things that God wants, life can go down hill very quickly. No matter where you are in this world today, there is always a point of return to God's amazing grace and love. There is always a time to rediscover who you are and your identity in Jesus Christ. There is always a time to redefine who you are and to rediscover the purpose God has for you because each one of us has a God-given gift or talent. Our job is to use our gifts to further the kingdom and to serve because God did not put us on this Earth to be served by others, but instead, God has a significant purpose for each person to serve one another.

Instead of doing the insignificant things that you have been doing in the past, look to God for hope in the future because he does have a magnificent plan for you. In order to see this plan, you must acknowledge that God is in control of your life. Once you acknowledge that God is behind the wheel, you can trust God that He will get you through anything in your life. Come back to what really matters in this world. In reality, there is only one thing that really, truly matters: a relationship with Jesus Christ. Do not forget who you are because you, individually, matter. You matter to God. Rediscover yourself, and follow the plan God has for you.

Do not get discouraged when someone tells you are not good enough. Do not worry when you feel lost or lonely. Do not stress over the little things. Let God lead you through the anxious, challenging moments, but you should never give up.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we should not only rediscover our identity and calling, we should rediscover our individual relationships with God and our hearts of worship. If you feel lost in this world, ask yourself one question: Am I living for God? Live inside out for God. Part of being a Christian means spending quiet time with God by reading the Bible, worshipping, and praying. However, there is another part that gets overlooked by many. This part is taking the individual time with God and turning it inside out for Jesus. Live out loud for Jesus with your actions and words when you are with friends, families, and strangers.

Whenever you feel down, discouraged, afraid, insignificant, lost, unimportant, or depressed, rediscover who you are because who you are makes you beautiful from the point of view of Jesus.
