Purpose is one of those buzz words these days.  What is the meaning and purpose behind what you thinks, say or do?  What is the purpose of your relationships?  What is the purpose of your career?  It seems like the pressure is on to figure out our meaning.  A sense of purpose is the thing that carries through the times when it is difficult and it does not seem worth it.  Yet I have experienced times when what I thought my purpose was turns our not to be the case.  At the end of the day or the beginning of each new moment we have a chance to connect to our greatest purpose.  God’s purpose for us is to be workers of light and love.  We are all called to be present to the life we are in and create and grow the power of love.  It is in our very essence.  If we do not have a sense of it we are going to struggle with how we are to make it happen.  Struggling is not what God has in mind.  Growing, yes, but struggling comes from resistance.  If we are open in our minds and hearts to who God would have us be, do and say in any given situation then we are living our purpose.  Sometimes, God’s plans are different from mine and I get wedded to mine.  I may not want to let it go so i work to make it happen and it is exhausting.  I see this a lot when I look back on my life and realize how much time and energy I spent trying to meet other’s expectations.  I was certain if I just worked hard enough to make other’s happy with me I would be okay.  It was my purpose.  I even thought of it as being spiritual in nature because I was not pushing my agenda.  And yet, I was.  God did not create me for other people’s purposes.  God created me to fulfill the purpose of love and light in a way that only I can.  It requires getting quiet and tuning in to my inner most knowing where God dwells in acceptance and joy.  When I take the time for our date in the morning I have a greater chance of staying aligned with a purpose that flows from me without struggle.
