"I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received." Ephesians 4: 1
Did you always know what you wanted to be when you grew up? Did you play at being a blogger for Christ when you were six-years old? I don't know about you, but when I was six-years old I didn't even know the term "blogger" let alone that I would want to be one. But as the Lord's plan would have it, here I am, blogging for Him (that would have really not sounded like a proper activity for a girl when I was six : ).
We must rejoice for the Lord has revealed Himself to us and the Holy Spirit has graciously given us the eyes and the ears to perceive such amazing revelation. And let us always be thankful, for He continues to guide and direct our paths. He did this not that we should boast, for it is His gift and it has nothing to do with anything we do, but that we should boast in Him, who devises and carries out such marvelous plan in us. We are His workmanship, "created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2: 10) Praise be to God! He has a plan for us, and even if at times it might seems fuzzy or perhaps incomprehensible, it is, indeed, perfect. After all, it is a plan to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Regardless of what my dreams and desires were when I was six-years old, the important thing is that I live His plan and design for me today. It may change tomorrow, for His plans are fluid from our perspective,-from His, everything is pre-determined since before the beginning of the world (Ephesians 1: 4)-. The important thing is that I live out God's destiny for me in complete humility, being gentle, patient and loving; making every effort to keep the unity to the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4: 3)
Today, therefore, I give thanks to the Lord for His guidance and revelation of my purpose as a Christian Blogger, even if way back when, as I played house with my old tea sets and dolls I had no clue what that would've meant.
First, I want to thank you for visiting my blog. And second, I didn't know either that I will be a blogger. Sharing my life with God and everything under the sun. God has been good to me in my ups and down and had shown me the right path when I was lost. With that, I owed God everything:)
