Made for More

I wonder if Joseph always knew he was made for more. When his brothers dropped him in the pit, I wonder if he knew he was made for more than pit-dwelling. When his brothers sold him to the Ishmaelites, I wonder if he knew He was made for more than slavery. When he became the overseer of his master's home, I wonder if he knew he was made for more than seeing over another's property. I wonder if he knew he was made for more. When he was cast into prison because of a lie, did he ponder his purpose? I wonder if he knew the Lord was with him during the good times and during the bad. I wonder if he could see the Lord's hand in all that transpired. I wonder if he knew he had a purpose so complex that he couldn't grasp it while going through his trials. I wonder.

I wonder if you know you are made for more...more than this world has to offer. I wonder if you know that you are made for more than living in the shadows. I wonder if you know you are made to live in the Light. I wonder if you know that you were created for a purpose...a purpose that is yours alone. I wonder if you realize how complex the mysteries of God are and if you realize He's working this all for your good, for your purpose, for the glory of God. I wonder if you know He loves you. I wonder...

Beautiful post Becky...I think we all wonder what God is doing when he works in our lives in ways we didn't expect. But its our faith that keeps us moving forward...knowing "all things work for our good".

Thanks for sharing such wonderful thoughts.

Wow, Sweet Girl, beautiful post. Thank you!!! So often I forget to look through the stories of long ago with fresh eyes in light of today. Real people with real struggles and real doubt and real faith. Amazing to remember that and ponder. You're a blessing!

BTW - every time I see your smiling picture on my "followers" list I can't help but smile. So beautiful!

With joy, Amy
