TOPIC: The Alchemy of Passion and Purpose: A Devotional Inspired by Jeremiah 29:11
AUTHOR: MARY LAWRENCE-DOKPESI
SCRIPTURE:
Jeremiah 29:11 (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.).
SPIRITUAL POSTULATION:
Alignment with your passion and purpose attracts abundance and fulfilment.
REFLECTION
Have you ever experienced your passion fading away, leaving you feeling lost? The verse Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God has plans for us, plans that will give us hope and a bright future. This is not just a general blessing, but a personalized roadmap that aligns with your passions, and it’s waiting for you to discover it.
The journey towards a meaningful and fulfilling life begins with introspection. You need to identify the things that ignite your soul and make you feel energized. These are the sparks that require nurturing. However, passion alone is not enough. You need to connect it with a purpose that is bigger than yourself. This will help you align your talents and passions with something that is bigger than yourself and serves a cause beyond your interests.
When your passion aligns with your purpose, you tap into a wellspring of motivation, resilience, and joy. This means that you can use your passion as a tool to serve your purpose. For example, an artist can inspire hope, a scientist can work towards healing, and an entrepreneur can empower others.
Dear Lord, help me identify my passions and guide me towards a purpose that fuels my soul. Grant me the courage to align my talents with service, transforming my journey into an offering that benefits the world. Lead me to the alchemy of passion and purpose, where I can become the best version of myself, for your glory and the good of all. Amen.
