If you have not, even if you are successful, you will still lack the satisfaction or fulfilment that comes with knowing the reason for your life. Why is that?
Everyone has a void that must be filled within. We all respond to this void at different levels based on the human need that forces us to deeply ponder the course of our lives. For some, it is the need to survive that brings them to that juncture. For others, it is the need to matter – importance and significance. We are all living to answer a question. What is yours?
The point here is that wherever you are on the continuum of achievement, a time comes in your life, based on the peculiarities of your personality and experiences, when you must answer the inescapable questions within your soul.
The word \”counsel\” is an old english word for purpose. God has put his purpose inside you but it is hidden so deeply that it takes understanding, which is a higher condition of life, to draw it out. Usually, we all just run with our abilities doing what we think without bothering to find out why we are given those abilities and privileges.
Your abilities can make you do many things but you are not born to do everything, you are born to do something. Purpose is the only force that will make all your potentials converge into a calling that makes you relevant for a lifetime.
To discover your purpose, you need to know Him whose purpose you intend to discover. Your spirit is awakened and brought into union with God so that you can have access to His mind (intentions, counsel and purpose) for you.
