“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
God-Given Goals
Everything in our life is essential. Everyday life consists of small things.
Our dreams and desires are also important. However, you should not start with them but with the vocation, goals, and mission of life foreseen by God and intended for you.
According to your calling, God has endowed you with personal qualities. And only by responding to him will you be happy.
God has placed in your being a desire to grow and achieve goals beyond your present. Accomplishing these God-given goals propels you into a life of potential and divine purpose.
Overcome the Barriers of Fear and Doubt
Fear and doubt often act as chains that bind you to inactivity, robbing you of the joy and excitement of pursuing your God-given aspirations. Remember, these feelings are not from God, who has called you to live boldly and courageously.
The Pathway to Confidence
As you step out in faith, pursuing the goals God has placed in your heart, you’ll find that fear and doubt lose their grip. Each step forward, guided by God’s hand, reinforces your confidence and trust in His provision and direction.
The Fullness of Life in Christ
Jesus’ sacrifice was for your salvation and to experience an abundant, purpose-driven life. As you pursue your God-given goals, you’re embracing the very life Jesus came to give—a life characterized by passion, fruitfulness, and power.
