Purpose For Living Jan 02 2010
"He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life." - 1 John 5:12
What is your purpose for living? Have you ever taken time to pause in the rat race of life and figure out why you're in it?
I recommend developing a life purpose statement. A man once told me his purpose statement was to "Get all you can; can all you get; and sit on the can!" I hope that when you develop your purpose statement, it'll be more than that.
Don't be shortsighted, focusing on this life alone. Keep eternity in mind. God created all of us for a purpose. What's yours?
Here's a hint. Knowing God has put you on this earth for a purpose becomes clear when you get to know the person of Jesus Christ. With Him, it's amazing how all things become clear. Otherwise, you end up like the masses, too busy to take time to know why you're here and too lost to know where you're going.
Are you racing through life going nowhere fast?
Stop for a second. Look to God in Christ and discover the purpose of your life.

Yes, report it NevermindI did the whole "Purpose Driven Life" thing, and it was a useful exercise. However, I have written many "mission statements" in my life, both personal and corporate. One thing that I have learned is that things change.
The most important thing is what your moral compass should be telling you. If your moral compass is driven by the Holy Spirit in pursuit of pleasing and serving God and your fellow man you will be stronger, more confident and more at peace.
John Wesley once said; "Do all you can, to earn all you can, to give all you can". That's still pretty good advice.
