Wow! Day 5 of 40 days of purpose - Seeing Life From God's View - amazing!
This is about my third time reading the 40 days of purpose book and each time I have come to this day i have labored over the questions at the end of the chapter- What has happened to me recently that I now realize was test from God? What are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me?
Well this third time is no different than the last two times before, I am not feeling the best about the recent test and let's just say I did not pass with flying colors but I am not smoking and burning either( now that was a "deep" statement).
Anyway, I want to focus more on the second question - What are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me? I reviewed my answers and I think this year I am finally starting to view life the way God view's life. The previous years my items were very self serving and actually were totally about me. This year I could honestly without thinking respond to the question totally thinking about others. One of the things that God has entrusted to me is to start writing grants for service related organizations. Now because of the time and effort it takes to complete these grants, I do charge a fee but for the most part I am writing these grants for free. God has placed it on my heart to work to help others who are serving in the kingdom. I have actively sought out people to help and I find myself talking about writing grants or thinking about writing grants most of the time. I really believe that we could make the world better by serving others and allowing God to lead us. I wish I could find all the money necessary for all of the non-profit organizations to exceed their goals for years to come. I know that does not sound realistic but I know that with God all things are possible. So I am trying one grant at a time to help as many as I can and I believe this is truly seeing life the way God does.
Thanks for reading this blog and let me hear from you. Oh yes, about the test you would be proud. What I was about to do did not work and I am thankful that God takes care of "fools and children"
Blessing

It's funny to think that there are so many things that happen to us in life that we think are just circumstances, but in reality are test from God. I'm thinking that even with this being your third time reading through the book, part of God's test for you is working thorugh this particular day.
Reading through your experience and comments and thinking about "what are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me" it puts things into a different perspective. Almost as if you have a greater responsibility...
