"YOU CAN BE EVERYTHING GOD WANTS YOU TO BE" by Max Lucado

“ … I know what I’m doing.

I have it all planned out- plans to take care of you,

not abandon you,

PLANS TO GIVE YOU THE FUTURE YOU HOPE FOR.”

JEREMIAH 29: 10-11 MSG

 This has become my favorite verse after reading this book. This verse speaks directly to my heart and sometimes reading it makes me want to burst into tears, the peace and confidence it reflects show so much about God’s heart and everlasting love towards us. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is, no one is left behind.

He has a purpose in every single one of our lives whether you might see it or not (I am now realizing that).

“YOU HAVE ONE DIVINE SPARK!” 

We were made in his image to worship Him and adore Him, He loved us even before the foundation of this earth, He shaped us and formed us to follow His steps and be with Him throughout eternity, He even decided to come to Earth as a living sacrifice because we decided to sin. But all that said He had a purpose for it.

“GOD PACKED US ON A PURPOSE FOR A PURPOSE”, how amazing is that!

God have been working each second, every minute, hour, day, week, month and year to help you want to do what pleases Him, and He has poured talents and gift to use for His sole glory.

Our purpose in life is found on the things you enjoy and what our hearts desire (Psalm 37:4 explains this really well) according to God’s plan. I know it is hard when you are indecisive about what you like or want to be, but those concerns have to be surrender to the plot master, God; he has sketched your character to be an important part of the story and eventually the book. The wait is long… I know, but it’s so worth it.

This is what I’ve learned from reading this book:  “You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be” by Max Lucado. The message is about finding out what God wants you to be for His glory, though small and with simple reading this book has impacted my life through ways unimaginable. Max Lucado has found a way of carving out words into paper to have an everlasting meaning to your life. Each and every teaching has a blessing and very letter speaks to your heart. Max has been an instrument of God to my life.
