Help! My Extraordinary Purpose is Simmering in a Pot of Preparation Stew

Our God-ordained purposes are unique in that we, each, have a specific uncommon reason for being created. Let me explain. Although others may have a similar purpose as we do, God has distinctively gifted and endowed each one of us with special talents, skills, and divine enablement to carry out our purpose in His pre-ordained steps to destiny.

Whenever we allow a perception of moot existence to settle within us, we eventually squelch our passion for living. Life becomes void of purpose. What is life without passion and purpose? Why merely exist?

Then there is the guilt we feel - - guilt for expecting more out of life. How dare we expect more out of life considering everything we already have? Why should we expect more? Who gave us the right to think that we deserve more? We have everything already, don’t we?

Of course, acknowledging the truth of these statements is more than most would openly admit. After all, to believe something and never act on it challenges the core of who we say we are as Christians. Faith without works is dead and to remain in the state of knowing what to do but not doing it is like standing in quicksand; in other word, you cannot go anywhere in the Kingdom of God in a seated position. It’s really okay to expect more. Really! Move. Go for your dream. God gave it to you.

Let’s face it. Many of us do have desires and thoughts of stepping out of the ordinary to embrace our extraordinary purpose. We strongly oppose thoughts influenced by the majority’s thinking, which conditions us to accept being average and settling for a status of mediocrity knowing that extraordinary thinking encapsulates the possibilities of greatness if we dare venture pass the status quo.
