Cupcakes, Muffins, and Purpose

Oatmeal muffins are great. So are zucchini muffins. A chocolate chip muffin: not so much. A chocolate chip muffin is a cupcake with an identity crisis. There are a few differences between these closely relates foods. Muffins are more dense then cupcakes. The recipes have similar bases of flour, sugar, etc. The key difference is when they are consumed. Cupcakes are for dessert while muffins are for breakfast or as a side for dinner. They serve a different purpose.  What is your purpose? As a follower of Jesus Christ, my purpose is to glorify my Savior. How that looks practically is not up to me. Part of following is trusting your leader has everything together. With God, he has everything together. He is not up in heaven saying "oops I really dropped the ball on that". Everyone is searching for their purpose in life. In order to find our purpose, we often look everywhere but up. We try to find our purpose in something we are not. We each were designed with the purpose of serving God but sometimes we find ourselves getting sidetracked. Like the chocolate chip muffin, we do not serve our purpose if we try to change. So are you going to serve your purpose? Or are you going to be a chocolate chip muffin and find a new one?

Joyfully,
