Simple Purpose

At church last Sunday the preacher had a simple but powerful message that spoke directly to me. I'm one of those people who wants to know their purpose. Why am I here God, what do you want me to accomplish? I know I am here to serve Him but in what capacity? The preacher put it plainly and I've been carrying this statement close to my heart.

Don't ask 'what is MY purpose', ask 'what is my place in HIS purpose and plan?'

I love that, don't you? And even more amazing God laid a verse, one I never noticed before, on my heart. It deals with this same subject and carries such wisdom in a small phrase.

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. James 3:16
