Jesus' calling.....my calling!!!

God showed up this morning while I was reading. My reading was all about knowing your purpose that God has called you to, waiting on Him, and trusting His faithfulness. In this season of life, this was perfect for me to read today. I thought I would share some scripture that I read. Jesus knew His purpose. The prophet Isaiah foretold it centuries before His birth. Let this be our purpose as well:

" The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."                                                                

                                                                                                                   Isaiah 61:1-3

Here is a quote of encouragement:

Live everyday to fulfill your personal mission. God has a reason for whatever season you are living through right now. A season of loss or blessing? A season of activity or hibernation? A season for growth or incubation? You may think you're on a detour, but Go knows the best way for you to reach your destination.
