Purpose

Aug 23, 2015    Pastor Lynn Dau

When you find God’s purpose for your life it will feel natural. When you discover who you were designed to be and live in it, you feel free. When this happens the money you need to live finds you. God made us to be gatherers, not laborers. The labor God placed on man in the garden of Eden was a curse (Genesis 3:17-19), but Christ lifted the curse and returned us to God’s original intent (Galatians 3:13). Notice that God gave Adam a garden to tend. God created the garden, God watered it. God made it grow. Adam simply gathered it’s fruit. The same is true for you. God gave you a garden in the form of the gift He placed in you. You don’t labor to make it grow. You don’t create it. You discover it. You cultivate it. As you operate in your gift, God brings opportunity and you simply gather the fruit or the resources you need to live. This is the abundant life and how finding purpose works. It’s being you and giving yourself to others. It’s living the way God designed you to be.
