Draw Out Purpose

Scripture:

Proverbs 20:5 "The purposes of a person's heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out".

Observation:

Insight is literally "seeing into".  Insight looks inside one's heart and finds their purpose.  The author says that the purposes of one's heart are deep, murky waters, but we must attempt to draw them out because when purpose is found, life gets better.  A good life coach will draw purpose out of someone and find out what they were born to do and love to do.

Application:

My wife Cheryl is awesome at drawing out people's purpose.  Sunday, we spent a significant amount of time with someone and I watched her in action as she drew out the purpose of this person's heart.  Feeling purpose in life is crucial to living an abundant, happy life.  When you can't do what your purpose is, you will just get by.  When you do what you love to do, you excel. 

Prayer:

Father, help me to be one who draws purpose out of people and helps them discover why they were made.  Teach me to search through the deep waters of their lives and my own as well to draw out that purpose.

Yours,
Jeff
