Each of us was created for a specific purpose, designed by God to be a blessing in this world. This isn’t a random thing; it was part of God’s plan from the very beginning. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) says, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” You were made with intention, and before you even took your first breath, God knew exactly what you were meant to do. This is your divine calling. It’s not just about the things you will accomplish—it’s about becoming the person you were always meant to be, one who reflects God’s love and blessing to those He has ordained to cross your path.
Romans 8:29-30 (NLT) deepens our understanding of this purpose by showing us that we were chosen to become like Christ: “For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.” This transformation into Christ’s likeness is the heart of our calling. It’s not just about what we do—it’s about who we become. Our purpose is not to live for ourselves but to reflect Christ’s love, compassion, and generosity to those around us. It’s through this transformation that we fulfill the unique role God has for us, bringing His Kingdom to earth through our lives.
The path to the abundance of God’s blessings begins with fulfilling this purpose. Everything God does is in perfect order, and when we align our lives with His Will, we open ourselves to the full range of blessings He has prepared for us. As 1 Corinthians 14:33 (NLT) affirms, “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace, as in all the meetings of God’s holy people.” There is a divine order to our lives, and part of our responsibility as God’s children is to live in accordance with His plan. We may not have all the details right away, and that’s why we’re commanded in His Word to seek Him and His righteousness first. God reveals more about our purpose and the path of success that He’s laid before us as we walk with Him step by step. As we seek Him with all our hearts, He promises that He will reward us. Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) says, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Blessings flow continuously as we diligently seek to know God’s Will through His Word.
Along this journey, there are people who are part of your divine calling, people you are destined to influence and bless. Your life is meant to touch others. Galatians 6:9-10 (NLT) encourages us, “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.” You were not placed in this world simply to receive—God has positioned you to be a source of blessing, a light to those around you. The acts of kindness, encouragement, and love you offer to others will come back to you in ways you can’t imagine. Our Heavenly Father sets us up to be an overflowing and never-ceasing fountain of giving and receiving His love in multiple ways. Being a blessing causes us to step into and maintain this flow.
When we become born again, something powerful happens: the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us. This is a life-changing truth. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now lives inside of us, empowering us to do good and to be a blessing. Ephesians 1:3 (NLT) tells us, “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.” All the spiritual blessings we need are already ours—every ounce of power, love, wisdom, and grace is available to us through the Holy Spirit. But this power is not meant to stay bundled up within. No. It’s meant to flow out. We are to take these blessings and use them to bless others. The more we give of ourselves, the more we grow, the more we experience God’s abundance. As we pour into others, God pours into us.
This is how we create a landing strip for God’s blessings to land in our lives. Think of it as an open space that welcomes the fullness of His favor. Just like a runway where a plane can safely land, our lives become a place where God’s blessings can freely flow. This is what happens when we live according to His Will. When we’re generous with our time, love, and resources, we make room for God to do great things in us and through us, by positioning ourselves in alignment with what He has purposed us to do and who He has purposed us to be.
Blessings will chase us down. As we step into the purpose God has set before us, His provision and favor follow. This is not a promise of a perfect, problem-free life, but it is the assurance that when we live according to God’s Will, His blessings will find us, pursue us, and overtake us. The more we focus on being a blessing to others, the more we find ourselves overwhelmed by God’s goodness. It’s the kind of blessing that we can’t contain, that spills over into every area of our lives.
You were meant to be a blessing. Not just to receive, but to give—to pour out what God has poured into you. This is the divine purpose that you were created for. The more you step into it, the more you will see God’s blessings manifest in your life. Become the blessing you were always meant to be. Your life will not only be changed, but the lives of others will be impacted for God’s Kingdom, and this will bring Him great pleasure. ■
