Searching for Purpose

I wake before the sun and He meets me there.  In the stillness of the house I find rest and peace and closeness.  I write.  I pray.  I sit at the feet of my Savior.  I have searched for "purpose"...asked for it many times and He answers me always the same... "Come sit at my feet.  Be still."  And so I do.  Each day we meet.  Then, one morning He spoke something to me that has changed my life. 

My determined purpose is that I may know Him more, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately aquainted with Him, preceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His person   Philippians 3:10 (Amplified Bible)

And so, as each day begins,  I still arise before the sun.  He meets me there - just as before. I'm no longer searching for purpose because I found it.  My soul is content (twirling really) to just know Him better.
and my soul sings!!

    So beautiful, mom. It's so sweet to hear that our Father created His children for the sole purpose to grow deeper in our relationship with Him. The creator of the universe desires YOUR love, a INTIMATE realtionship with YOU, YOUR time, and YOUR adoration. Wow, I'm in complete awe that He desires a sinner like you or me.
