Today I am tasting morsels of who I am and my unique value. I am one of a kind, yes, but deeper than that, I am essential to carry out the purpose placed in me. I have been placed in charge of others whose lives I have influence and am responsible for as far as my own leadership allows. I am a priest tending to his people. I am an intercessor, pleading their case before the Almighty, and contending for His power to save, to bring life. Intercession is the roll of a priest. This morning I rediscovered how alive I feel when I do so. My purpose meter pegs when I fight for others through prayer. In this I have the blessing of Christ, our ultimate priest, our ultimate intercessor. I know He is pleased.
Perhaps today I am not actually tasting, but only smelling the aroma of my purpose. It certainly does arouse my appetite. I become hungry for what God has for me to do; not in a task like way, but as a cooperative effort, a partnership. I get the privilege of cooperating with the Creator of the universe in what miracle he wants to breathe. Today I get to enjoy the company of God and my son. It doesn’t get any better.
Father, thank You for giving me purpose. Thank You for inviting me to partner with You in what You want to do in others. There are no disillutions here. I am with YOU in YOUR purpose. I have myself and my purpose to contribute. You call the shots. I will let YOU lead. I will humbly follow.
