090 // Finding Purpose in the Simplicity of Intimacy with God

We are lied to and told that our purpose is found in feeling significant or having goals that help us contribute to something greater than ourselves.  But the truth is, or at least I think it is, that our purpose is simply to walk with God, to commune with Him, to fellowship with Him intimately.  

I've been weighed down by what I thought was loneliness recently, but I'm a woman much acquainted with feeling lonely, and I knew what I was feeling was heavier than feeling disconnected from people.  As I asked God to meet me in that place of heaviness, He showed me that it wasn't that I was lonely, it was that I didn't feel like I had purpose.  He showed me that my idea of what my purpose was had been distorted. 

Take a listen, I hope you find a nugget to chew on as you go about your purposeful day today.
