Live on Purpose
Are you a Christian woman wanting to make an impact for the Kingdom? Do you want to live a life of purpose and leave a lasting legacy, but find it hard to figure out how?
Living with purpose is one of the greatest gifts we can aspire to. So many women can get bogged down in the mundane day-to-day and before they know it, years have passed and nothing has changed. Whether you are just starting out on your spiritual journey or have been walking with God for many years, there are steps that you can take make sure that you are living each day on purpose.
As Christian women we not only have the opportunity to glorify God through our lives, but also affect positive change in our communities and nations. In this article, I will share practical ways in which we can pursue God's plans and purposes for our lives more passionately; achieving more fulfilment and satisfaction from life as well as having a greater impact for His Kingdom.
Every Christian woman desires to live for a purpose greater than themselves, but few understand how to define and live out their own unique missions. Living on purpose is not about perfection or striving for what the world expects from you, but instead setting clear goals and aligning your priorities with God's will. Here are some tips to help you live an intentional life as a Christian woman:
Examine Your Gifts
God gives each of us special gifts wired into our very soul that allow us to focus and use our talents for His glory. To figure out your gifts, ask yourself questions like: What comes more naturally to me than others? What am I most passionate about? In what arena do I think I could make the biggest impact? Spend time in prayer asking God to uncover the calling he has placed on your life- He will provide all the revelation you need!
Create an Intentional Vision
Creating a vision can be an important way to focus your efforts and commitments on things that lead directly toward achieving that vision. Try taking some time alone with God and write down your dreams, hopes and ideas in terms of what you want your life to look like in 5 years, 10 years or even longer. Being intentional with this process helps bring clarity to your own purpose in life.
Follow Through
Once we know our calling from God it’s essential that we actually follow through with it! Making sure that we regularly pause for reflection and cast our eyes forwards in order to adjust course if necessary can aid us immensely when striving towards our end objectives. Planning ahead means looking for areas where you may face potential difficulties or issues so that you can be prepared prior to launching into action when necessary.
Stay Connected With Other Believers
It takes community accountability and support from other fellow believers within the body of Christ in order for us to grow spiritually while pursuing our respective callings. Spending meaningful time with godly friends who have encouraged us before can ensure that we stay motivated throughout any challenging times ahead; providing needed words of comfort and advice during promising seasons too. Besides joining a local church community, women’s Bible studies are wonderful places meant purposefully for encouragement and edification among one another allowing discussions about any struggles or successes experienced since last meeting up again.
All in all, living on purpose as a Christian woman is not only possible, but it’s also an incredibly rewarding experience. As we strive to live out our God-given callings, we can be sure that He will provide us with the strength and courage needed to overcome any obstacles that may come our way.
