FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE!

FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE


We all have a
PURPOSE in this life


And God EXPECTS US
To fulfill it=
No matter what
Our circumstances in life are


That was
The case with Saint Paul=
That is the case
With us-
FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE!


“He remained
For two full years
In his lodgings


He RECEIVED
ALL who came to him=
And with complete assurance
And without hindrance


He proclaimed
The Kingdom of God=
And taught about
The Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 28:30-31


Paul is SPEAKING
Of his time IN PRISON=
His two years
In chains


Most of us DON'T
GO to prison=but we do
FACE CIRCUMSTANCES
Beyond our control


Sometimes we are LIVING
In a prison
Of our OWN MAKING


FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE!


“I will FULFILL
My vows to the Lord
In the presence
Of all his people” Psalm 116:14


“Do not think that I
Have come to abolish
The Law or the PROPHETS


I have not come
To abolish them
But to FULFILL THEM” Matthew 5:17


“Let no debt
Remain outstanding


Except the continuing debt
To love one another=
For whoever loves others
Has FULFILLED the law” Romans 13:8


MANY of us THINK
We will FULFILL OUR PURPOSE=
Once we are set free=
Once we get
The the OTHER SIDE of this


But Paul is TEACHING us
ANOTHER WAY


He is showing us
That we don't have
To WAIT
For our situation to improve


We can PROCLAIM
GOD'S GOODNESS=
Even when we are encumbered


We can continue
To do our work
And FULFILL OUR PURPOSE
Right now
Chains or no chains


“A longing FULFILLED
Is sweet to the soul=
But fools detest
Turning form evil” Proverbs 13:19


Going forward=
FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE=
When we feel least able
Is a GREAT BLESING


Like Saint Paul=
Let us
KEEP FULFILLING OUR PURPOSE!


In the name of Jesus=and our ever PURPOSEFUL FATHER!
