1 LIFE TO LIVE: LEARN HUMBLY.

“Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”
Psalm 90:2.

“Come to me all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”
Matthew 11:28-30.

Life is a learning process. Not everything in life is fair. You can draw the wrong conclusions out of certain experiences in life and it can hurt you for the rest of your lives. Jesus teaches us that to learn, we must come to him.

How you position yourself in learning in life is so critical for every age. Many people find themselves bitter because they did not learn what they needed to learn from their circumstances. The challenge is to veer away from Identity theft.

“The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”
John 10:10.

Jesus’ purpose in our lives is always fulfillment. God had invested keys in our lives so that we will find our fulfillment.


GOD-GIVEN KEYS TO FULFILLMENT:

GIFTS.
God has given each of us gifts. The enemy will always try to rip us of these gifts. We must learn and draw from the Savior on how to take care of these gifts and use them.

PASSION.
God has given us passions to accomplish His purpose. What brings real pleasure in your heart?

STRUGGLES.
God has allowed struggles in our lives so that we can learn more about Him. Satan wants to steal the purpose of these struggles; he wants to steal the fruitfulness that comes out of these struggles.

“…who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God”
2 Corinthians 1:4.

God stays with us and gives us comfort in all our struggles and He positions us to be with other people who may be going through the troubles that we have gone through that we may be with them to give them the same comfort that God has given us Himself.

Real difficulties happen when we think we can do things by ourselves, when we think that we do not need God, His purpose and His plans.

“Come to me all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”
Matthew 11:28-30.

Jesus tells us to come to him, to learn from him and be yoked with him even in our struggles to find our real purpose in life.

God sees our purpose and our fruitfulness. He longs to see our fruitfulness in our working environment, in our relationships, in our families and so forth.

TO FIND YOUR REAL PURPOSE IN LIFE, LEARN HUMBLY

Read Matthew 13:3-23, The Parable of the Sower.

“But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown”
Matthew 13: 23.

The Lord’s goal for each of us is true fruitfulness.
