Before the Rooster Crows - A Journey through Faith - Paperback

by Zaria Hicks (Author)

Imagine a singer, effortlessly producing a melody that touches the soul, or an actor who commands the stage with an innate presence. Think of a host who makes every guest feel cherished or a chef who crafts a meal to delight the senses. Just as these individuals are born with unique gifts, each of us is called to fulfill a specific purpose in this life. This purpose is deeply embedded within us, a divine calling from God meant to honor and uplift His name. I've always sensed that I was destined for something remarkable-a feeling that has pulsed through my being for as long as I can remember. It's been a constant, whispering reminder that there is something more for me to achieve, something beyond the ordinary life I was living. Yet, I struggled to bring this inner truth to light. My dreams seemed clouded by self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy, and I couldn't bridge the gap between who I believed I could be and who I felt I was.

Do you ever ask yourself, "Who am I? What are my gifts? Where is God leading me? When will I fulfill my divine purpose?" I have wrestled with these very questions, burdened by the challenge of reconciling my perceived limitations with the promises of God. I found myself trapped in the shadows of my past, imprisoned by insecurities that whispered, "You're not good enough." But here's the truth: these fears are contrary to what God says about us. He sees our potential, our true selves, and our divine calling. And so, as I embark on this journey to uncover and live out my purpose, I want to reach out to you. If you, too, are grappling with finding your purpose, I urge you to place your trust in the Holy Spirit. Embrace who you are, and let Him guide you. The rest will unfold in its own time, and you will find yourself living out the beautiful purpose for which you were created.

So take heart, and take a step forward. Trust in the divine call within you. The path may not always be clear, but you are never alone. God's guidance will lead you to fulfill the incredible purpose He has for you just as He did for me.
