FOR THIS PURPOSE WAS I BORN – A WALK AND WORK IN PROGRESS

“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” 2Tim 1:9

“But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit” 2 Cor 3:18


I apologise for leaving my blogs for so long. It is in the pursuit of purpose. I also said I would conclude the PURPOSE series, I have since discovered that when I said that, I was talking in the flesh. How can a person write the conclusion of a lifetime journey when the destination is not even yet in sight?

In the past weeks, God has opened up so many amazing doors of opportunity that if I tell you I know where it leads, I would be lying. It is a matter of ‘every step I take leads to another’. I now understand I am moving to the next level in my purpose journey.

It takes amazing faith to step into the unknown. There is something in me that wants to hold on to the known, to sit in my comfort zone. But I cannot. If there is anything that should be a constant in the life of a Christian, it is progress. “But the path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” – Prov 4:18. It is just not possible for me to stay in my comfort zone. As a daughter of Zion, I have to keep getting better, going higher and evolving into the image of my Savior.
And the great thing is, I am not on this journey alone. “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” Matt 28:20; “for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee” Heb 13:5. Christ is with me every step of the way.

Reminds me of the song –

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know oh oh, He holds my future
And life is worth the living just because He lives

So, my Purpose series comes to a pause here, not an end; as more unfolds, I will let you know. But for now, I move forward in my purpose walk as I continue to live out His will for my life. However, I will continue to let you know, as always, the details of my faith and my life. I cannot promise to post regularly, but I definitely will not abandon this blog. It is very much a part of my purpose.
