Quotes About Purpose

It looks like a setback, but really it's a setup to move you into your destiny.

The moment God put the dream in your heart, He lined up everything you need to bring it to pass.

You may not understand it now, it may not make sense yet, but one day, you'll see it was a necessary step to reach your destiny. It looked like a setback, but really, it was a setup.

When we start competing with people, we get distracted, we lose focus, and before long we're wasting time on things that are not moving us toward our purpose.

In the Bible when Paul told Timothy, "Stir up the gift. Fan the flame" (2 Timothy 1:6 (NIV), he was saying, "Timothy, life is flying by. Get busy pursuing your destiny." Every setback means you're one step closer to seeing the dream come to pass.

Who knows where God is going to take you? You haven't seen, heard, or imagined what He has in store. You may not see how it can happen, but you don't have to figure it out. If you believe, God will cause you to defy the odds.

What you keep in front of you, you're moving toward.

Sometimes you face difficulties not because you're doing something wrong, but because you're doing something right.

When you understand that everything serves His plan, you won't live frustrated by things that aren't fair, stressed over things you don't like, upset because it's taking too long.

You don't need everyone to be for you; you just need the right people to be for you. God has already ordained divine connections that will help you fulfill your purpose.

When you keep your vision in front of you, that's your faith being released. That's why the scripture uses such strong language that says people perish for lack of vision. That means dreams die when you don't have vision. If you can't see what God has put in your heart, then you'll miss the incredible things God wants to do.

Don't you dare plan on dying. We need you, so plan on living. Keep the right vision in front of you. You can. You will!

We weren't created to live a small life with little goals, little dreams, little influence. God created us to live an abundant life. No matter where you are, you're not supposed to get stuck at that level and stay there. God is a God of increase. He has something bigger in your future.

You can't become who you were created to be without opposition, things you don't understand. The way to endure is to remind yourself that what God has in your future is not just going to make up for what you've been through, but He is going to bring you out better.

Don't fall into the trap of being negative, complacent, or just taking whatever life brings your way. Set the tone for victory, for success, for new levels. Enlarge your vision. Make room for God to do something new. You haven't touched the surface of what He has in store.

You can set a new standard. You were made for more.

What am I saying? Don't complain about that person who betrayed you. If they walked away, they didn't set you back; they set you up. If that had not happened, you wouldn't get to where you're supposed to be. If they overlooked you, tried to push you down, and lied about you, it may not have been fair, but nothing happens by accident. If God allowed it, He knows how to use it for your good.

TODAY'S THOUGHT You may have failed in some area of your life—we all have—but you're not a failure. You may have had some bad breaks, but you are not a victim. You are who God says you are.

Just as there are seasons of growth, there are seasons of pruning. Without pruning, we won't become all we are created to be. God won't let you go through a cutback if it's not going to eventually work for your good.

Sé que todas las piezas no están ahí todavía, pero un día todo se juntará y tendrá sentido. Veré el plan maravilloso de Dios llevándome a sitios que nunca me imaginé. Esta es mi declaración.
