"Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him."
Isaiah 51:2

I am a new man in Christ
I am a son of the Patriarch Abraham

God is Making Me More

Purposeful

Purpose
1. That which a person sets before himself as an object to be reached or accomplished; the end or aim to which the view is directed in any plan, measure or exertion. We believe the Supreme Being created intelligent beings for some benevolent and glorious purpose, and if so, how glorious and benevolent must be his purpose in the plan of redemption! The ambition of men is generally directed to one of two purposes, or to both; the acquisition of wealth or of power.
2. Intention; design; purpose always includes the end in view

Every purpose is established by counsel.  Prov. xx
Being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will.  Eph. i.

v.t. To intend; to design; to resolve; to determine on some end or object to be accomplished.

I have purposed it, I will also do it.  Is. xlvi. Eph ii.
Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem.  Acts xix.

Webster's 1st ed., 1828

In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
-- Ephesians 1:11-12
