First of all, sorry for missing a few days. No real Excuse, just very busy., which should not be an excuse for not reading my devotion for the day and sharing it.
"Now the Lord says, who formed me from the womb, to be His servant..." Isaiah 49:5
Today I was reminded of the original purpose of the creation of mankind, which was to love, praise, worship and serve God by our own will and own desire. All other creations of heaven and earth praise God because they do not have a free will, they do not have a soul. We are to constantly and earnestly seek out God's purpose and meaning for our lives, but let us not forget the one purpose that is the same for us all: to serve and worship God through Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers said "The realization of our election by God is the most joyful on earth, and we must learn to rely on this tremendous creative purpose of God.....we must not cloud it with our own intentions...if we do God will have to force our intention aside no matter how much it may hurt..."
Let us not forget God's purpose for our lives. I will try harder now each day to recognize God's creative purpose and examine my daily life to make certain there is evidence of service, worship and praise. I encourage you to do the same. Will I fail daily...yes..but I will keep trying.
Give me your thoughts. I would love to hear someone's view on any of my posts.
Blessings to you and yours.

Keep at it girl! Isn't it great that we can fail, but it's ok. I firmly believe that God, like a parent, does not expect perfection from us but rather wants our best. Beautiful posts!
