His Purpose for Me
I embrace the verse from Psalm 138:8 with a great AMEN!
“The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me” – Psalm 138:8
I am strongly reminded, that He, God Himself, who calls me and will fulfill His purpose for me. It’s not by my own strength, wisdom, and intellectual, I should find ways to accomplish it.
At times, we are trapped into a mentality of “He who fails to plan, plans to fail”. Yes, it’s important to plan. Yet, often we are too preoccupied and anxious to plan to reach the destination that we think is right. Slowly our destination is distorted. Not the thing (not even our calling) that we are called to accomplish is the destination, but GOD Himself is our ultimate destination. How can one reach there by planning on his own without God, whose only power can enable us to reach that?
I realize that fulfilling His call in my life is not a solo-fighter attempt. But my mighty God and me! 
Often I’m exhausted of finding way to walk there, why? I forgot that His presence will go a step ahead of me and He will preserve my ways, provided I stay tuned with Him, not by myself and not by other strong people or connection we are linked to.
“At this point the person stops imagining castles in the sky, and pursuing foolish ideas, and his reasoning becomes calm and relaxed, with all choices removed, because the only choice has now become the purpose of God. Also, his emotions are weaned away from other people and things, becoming deadened so that nothing can hurt, offend, hinder, or get in his way. He can now let the circumstances be what they may, and continue to seek only God and His will, with the calm assurance that He is causing everything in the universe, whether good or bad, past or present, to work “for the good of those who love him” (Rom. 8:28)
Oh, the blessings of absolute submission to Christ! What a blessing to lose our own strength, wisdom, plans, and desires and to be where every ounce of our being becomes like a peaceful Sea of Galilee under the omnipotent feet of Jesus!

I thought that I’m a fool by losing ability and will to maneuver my life ‘cos i have all my choices removed, then I realize .. that kind of thought itself is a foolishness! I’m not foolish ‘cos I have my absolute submission to One who controls the universe!
At this point of time, I’m fully in awe and in love with my Creator. Beautiful encounter in the morning.
