Live Your Dreams

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10 NKJV Are you living up to your God-given potential? Are you excited each day about your life and what you will be doing? God has created each person for a specific purpose. When we are living out that purpose, there is peace. When we aren't, there is turmoil within our souls. This does not mean that everything will be perfect all the time but our general sense of wellness will be peace-filled. Each one of us has a dream. There is something down deep inside that we want more than aanything. Maybe you have forgotten it. Maybe you have been disappointed over and over and you've buried it somewhere deep within. Maybe you've given up on it. What is it? Take some time right now in this moment and say outloud whatever it is. Write it down and look at it in black-and-white. Do you realize that God creates dreams within us? Do you realize that He has created you for a purpose? Are you ready to claim that purpose and lay down your life, allowing Him to take control and lead you in that purpose? If you have been struggling with your purpose, take some time to get alone with God and seek His will for your life. Pray without ceasing for clarity and direction then do whatever He leads you to do. Living in your purpose is a wonderful way to begin a new year. Trust in Him for guidance and strength. Lean on Him and allow Him to fill you with joy and peace. Walk in the fullness of life that Jesus promised each of His followers in John 10:10. "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." Happy New Year. May the Lord bless you and be near you in 2011. Natalie
