One Life to Give

Do you desire to 'live well'? I do! I want to live with full intentionality and purpose. I want my life to matter. What does living well mean? To me, it is chasing hard after Christ by making Him the priority. It allows Him in my 'business' when I make my daily decisions. It is submitting and stepping into His plan, knowing He has my best interest in mind. I do not do this well, but I am striving towards it.

How about you? Do you ever get distracted when trying to live life with this purpose in mind?

One truth helping me is; that I am a carefully planned design created for a carefully designed plan. He created me. With His wisdom, power, and care, He has carefully designed me with a plan for my life to be used for His glory. Therefore, life has meaning when I am doing life as He instructs.

I am a carefully planned design for a carefully designed plan.

This simple truth gives me the purpose my soul seeks. As I discover this truth more and more, I am drawn to align myself with His will, no matter the assignment. It means life is good when I surrender to what He has for me.

Whether taking care of my family, loving others, or working on a project, I do it as an offering to the Lord and as a part of His designed plan. His plan is the best plan for my being. God's word says, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

In His plan and will is our happy place.

We only have one life to live, Ladies. Let us give it to Him. It is THE way to make the most of our lives. "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.
