What’s My Purpose?

About a month ago, I bought this really beautiful candle. It had one purpose-to light up a dark room. Yeah it looks really pretty, it has this peacock feather pattern and jewels on it but it’s purpose is to provide me with light.

A few weeks into burning this candle I started noticing that the room just wasn’t very bright. It was getting harder to see in the room. Then I realized it was because the light was burrowing inside the wax as it burned.

So I had to rip off the top of this beautiful candle and once again it fulfilled its purpose- to provide me with light.

God was showing me that I needed to learn something through this candle. It doesn’t matter if everything looks good on the outside, if I am not fulfilling my purpose I’ve become useless. Not because I cannot be used but because I will be used less. There is no point in using a candle that doesn’t provide light when there are other candles ready to burn bright and fulfill their purpose.

God, I don’t want to be used less. I want to fulfill the assignment that you have sent me to this earth to fulfill. I want to walk in the plans that You have for my life. I am created with a purpose. Help me to walk in that purpose. Trim back the useless beautiful that is hindering my purpose in my life. Trim back the things that I have deemed as beautiful and beneficial, God, until only what you want remains. Until I fulfill the purpose you have created me for.

    A New Identity

    What is this blog about? You mean, I'm supposed to have a purpose? Ok, if that's required then my purpose is life.

    ​This is my life...Searching for truth, ​one day at a time.
    ​I enjoy writing so sometimes that truth comes through storytelling. 

    Better with age...
