Hey everyone! Its Sunday night and others including myself are dreading Monday to come knocking at our door due to the weekend being over in seconds. I decided to blow the dust off my blog and get back into the groove of things. Being that I can't sleep I figured I'll catch up with you all and use this time as a Theraputic release. Side bar my blog has had over 3,000 reads/views!!! Thank you everyone who takes the time to read the thoughts of little ole me, I really APPRECIATE it.
Now that I have said my future Awards speech, I wanted to talk a little about the act of falling in love. All of us fall in love within our lifetime and the act of falling seems to happen very fast. The key word here is falling so hopefully you get my drift. According to https://www.illicitencounters.com/ a british dating site for married people, they surveyed 1,000 people and found that 55 percent of the group fell in love between the ages of 15 and 18 years of age. That's over half of the percentage out of small group of people so imagine millions!
If we are falling in love with a person at such an early age why does it take us so long to fall in love with our purpose? We tend to form a commitment to another human faster than we do to our future. Having a commitment to our purpose takes WORK and it's not easy to always feel like wanting to actually commit to what we want in our lives. There's fear, doubt, opinions of others, self hatred, and many other negative emotions that get in the way.
Deuteronomy 13:4
"You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.
If we start to fall in love with our purpose just as fast as we do with humans I believe it would help us dive into God's plans for our lives quicker. I've said this before and I'll say it again, there are multiple leaps of faith that has to take place when we are walking within our purpose. Falling in love with our purpose is the easy part, but the commitment will make us feel like we want to give up sometimes.Below are steps that I believe and go by daily:
1. Have FAITH! - A strong belief in God that will carry you through no matter the circumstances.
2. BELIEVE - We have to BELIEVE that God's Plan WILL take place within our lives. We have to BELIEVE in GOD first, and BELIEVE in ourselves afterwards.
3. TRUST - Trust in the plans God has for your life and trust the relationship between you and God.
Isn't it AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL that we always have an open form of communication with God also known as the act of Praying. I pray that my readers learn to pray and ask God for anything and everything they need in life with boldness and much courage! It takes much commitment to take your purpose and run with it, but in the end you'll realize the love that God has for you and fall in love with him and your purpose even more.
