I feel obliged to entreat you to seek individuality in God.
You are a part of Jesus' Body.
But, you are single and you have your uniqueness.
Do not attempt to use others as the benchmark for defining yourself and for determining how your life story should be.
Beloved, use the Word of God.
I have come to realise that just as there is One Body with many parts, so does the Word of God define our individuality, although we are a part of God's Body.
There is a version of the Amplified Bible which says in Ephesians 6 that Holy Spirit wields the Word of God. When we read Scripture, Holy Spirit ministers to us according to our season and what we need to know in that moment. That explains why another will read the same Scripture and be ministered to differently. Mind you, there is no contradiction in God's Word. The Word of God IS our standard and although HE ministers to us individually, He does not contradict Himself.
Darling, learn to know the Word of God for yourself.
All you need do is to start...even if they are baby steps, they are better than nothing
As you know God's Word, you grow in the knowledge of yourself.
The Word of God Is our life's manual.
But, I have learnt that when we search Scripture, by God's Grace, we find in Scripture a portion that describes who we are and our life's purpose.
Don't forget: we are the Body of Christ.
We are Jesus Christ on Earth.
It is the spirit that makes man and once we have the Spirit of Jesus Christ in our Bodies, then we are Jesus Christ.
Beloved.
There is a portion of Scripture in Isaiah which resonates with my spirit and gives me an indication of what my life's purpose is. What I see happening is that the Word of Knowledge I have received from ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are in conformity with what I believe that particular chapter of the Book of Isaiah says about me.
Where in Scripture do you find yourself?
Which portion of Scripture can you say Holy Spirit really taught you or ministered to you by?
Or do you think this is impossible and happens to only a select-few?
This is for all of us, baby.
For all of us who believe.
I pray you believe.
Amen.
