Do you ever wonder why you have been through what you have? Do you ever wonder why you had to experience certain circumstances, situations, and challenges? Do you ever wonder why God picked you for the calling, task, or assignment?
I’ve learned that everything I’ve gone through was for a reason. God is processing me for purpose. I know some things didn’t feel good, look good, and even at times, certain news doesn’t sound good. People have walked away. Circumstances tried to keep you bound. Situations tried to hinder you from moving forward. However, God has you on this journey to go through the process for a reason. You’re being processed for purpose!
I’ve learned that when one is being processed for purpose, it doesn’t always look good. Life isn’t always a pretty picture and it doesn’t always go as we plan; however, there is a purpose for the process. For us to go higher, elevate, or be promoted to a new level, we must go through some things. We must learn how to endure. James 1:2-4 reads, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” Working through a process requires endurance and perseverance.
Sis, can you endure to the end? Can you trust that God has the final say? Yes, I know it looks rough now. I know it feels uncomfortable. I know it appears to be a journey to go through, but we are called to walk by faith and not by sight. God is in control of it all.
There is a greater purpose within you that needs to be released in the earth. Your obedience of walking in your purpose will affect others. God is searching for someone who will be totally obedient to his will. Will you be the one? Will you accept his will? Will you accept his calling?
Esther from the Bible was processed for a purpose. She had to complete twelve months of beauty treatment prescribed for women before she went before the king. She had to go through a process before she was chosen as queen. We too must be groomed, pruned, and changed for the King’s glory.
I’ve been sent an ssignment to encourage you that you are being processed for purpose. Purpose is calling you higher. Purpose is calling you to stand outside the crowd. Purpose is calling you to go through the process. Purpose is calling you to be prune. Purpose is calling you to forgive, be free, and love. Purpose is going to calling you to launch forward. Purpose is calling you to walk by faith. Purpose is calling you to be healed. Purpose is calling you to live and not die. Your purpose is going to catapult you into the greatest season of your life. Purpose
You’ve went through those difficult seasons for a reason. Those challenges and obstacles were made to make you stronger. You can now share your testimony with others and tell them how you made it out.
God wants to pull you out those dark, depressing, and challenging moments of your life. You are not a mistake. You are not here by accident. You are here for a purpose.
You’re being processed for a purpose. Stay encouraged. Go through the process. Don’t give up. Don’t get discouraged. It’s all working out for your good. You have to go through to get through.
I want to remind you that you’re coming out better than you went in! Greater is he that is in you than he that’s in the world. There is a mighty warrior rising on the inside of you. When you speak, things will begin to change. When you pray, heaven will begin to respond. When you worship, God will begin to move. You are being processed for purpose!
In the end, you will appreciate the process. Being great comes with a process. Being anointed requires a process. Being a trailblazer requires a purpose. The process won’t be easy, but it will be worth every sacrifice, tear, and mountain.
Keep going. Keep climbing. Keep surrendering unto God.
Sis, you’re being processed for purpose!
Love always,
