Growing up…I didn’t know what my purpose was…

Growing up…I didn’t know what my purpose was…
But I always knew I had one…we all do
It takes some time though, to figure it all out
Sadly, but truth…I’m not sure if some ever do
Some of us live out a script that was taught or caught
It may have been given to us directly or indirectly
Some of us may have decided that someone else’s…
Was a better version than the original created for us
Some of us have been tricked into believing what he, she, they say we are
And yet some of us have written our own script…leaning unto our own understanding
If I didn’t write the poem, I don’t know the inspiration behind it
If I didn’t write the story, I can’t accurately read between the lines
If I didn’t write the song, I don’t know the experience that birthed the lyrics
Because I didn’t create myself…I can’t know the purpose for which I am
If you don’t know what your purpose is, it’s okay…just never forget that you have one
And stay hungry…to know what it is…your purpose…not your why…but His Why
You are probably already living out assignments that are connected to your purpose
Remember that no one knows why you were created
No one knows the questions of life you were created to answer and…
No one knows the issues of life you were created to solve or resolve
No one knows the hearts you were created to touch…fill with hope, love and joy
No one knows except the One who created us…we don’t even know…
Until He decides to show us how it all connects…that it all has purpose…
When He shows you…you will know…there will be no doubt within, that you are…
Who you’re supposed to be…where you’re supposed to be…doing what you’re supposed to be
There is so much peace, when you are no longer rehearsing a script…but Living your life…
Growing up…I didn’t know what my purpose was…
But I always knew I had one…and now I know…
