Your Purpose Will be Accompanied by Peace

Perhaps you’re wondering, ‘What am I supposed to do with my life? What’s my purpose here?’ God answers these questions through our abilities. He leads us to our life’s purpose through the skills and talents He has given us. God-given gifts are the skills a person easily performs, often without formal training. We derive great pleasure from doing what we’re naturally good at doing. So if you aren’t sure of your life’s purpose, just do what you do well and watch God confirm it by blessing your endeavours. Don’t spend your time trying to do what you’re not gifted to do, or what somebody else is good at. We know we’re operating in our gifts and calling when what we do ministers life to others. If what we do makes us miserable and fills us with a sense of dread, usually we’re not in God’s perfect will. He gives us peace and joy to let us know we’re fulfilling His perfect plan: ‘For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace.’ Look at what you enjoy, what you’re good at, and what God is giving you the grace to do - then let God be God in your life. He wants to flow through you, and it may not be in the same way as He flows through others. Trust His ability in and through you, and don’t be afraid to be unique. God has a specific place and a specific plan for each of us. How will you know you’re in the right place fulfilling His plan? You will have peace!
2 King 22-23, Acts 13:1-25

I find it hard sometimes to be sure that Im doing God's will. With multiple voices that are speaking, we must develop our ability to hear God and to feel when we are doing the right thing, according to His will. We can avoid much problems by this way! Is somebody else has the same struggle as me?

wow,very much connected to yesterday's topic. Yea,I experienced it countless times, but God's grace always raised me up

Wow.Thank God for this topic. This kinda follows up yesterday's topic. Every soul on earth has a purpose assigned to them.That's why it's imperative to discover one's purpose early in life.When purpose is not well defined, abuse becomes inevitable.You'll find that no matter what people say or do,the soul finds peace where it belongs.Many people today are into different things, because their friends, parents and other factors influenced them,and you find out they end up unfulfilled, unhappy and without peace in themselves.

Yea.I remember those days back in Sunday school. I often wondered why of all the great things a fresh university graduate would devote his time to, he chose to teach children, he'd say that God sent him to turn back souls to him.That strikes me as a purpose

Once again, thank you for your participation guys.
One thing you said Isaac has retained my attention: to find our purpose early. You're very right, it's the best way to do it to not feel like we have lost our time.
Have a good night!
