The Real Purpose Driven Life

"I want to know what's my purpose, why am I here?" "What am I being called to do?"

Have you ever asked yourself this? We all have at one point or another. We are wired to want to live a purposeful life. We are wired to want to live a satisfying life. But as Believers we are called to live a set-apart life. Not to merely seek after our ambitions but to seek after Christ.

Before Christ we wonder what we need to do to make our lives better, but in Christ we should be focused on what we could do to bring glory to God.

We exist for God. To bring Him glory and honor and to fulfill His purpose.

I dont know about you all, but this gives me rest and peace when anxiety creeps on me. I always thought that I had to do some magnificent thing to bring God glory but really it can simply be me sharing the Gospel with a coworker or donating to a charity or volunteering on a Saturday morning at a charity or spending time with those who are hurting or even just praying for the lost.

Our purpose as believers is to live a life that reflects the love of God. You don't have to be a Pastor, first lady or even a missionary to do this. Whatever you do make sure its bringing God the glory He is due!

1 Corithians 10:31 "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God"

Losing Friends, Gaining Faith by  JENNIFER JOHNS  on  APRIL 30, 2010 Several weeks ago a friend visited my desk to chat when she noticed a small square paper hanging on my cubicle wall. She asked what it said and leaned in closer to read it. The quote was about staying open to the change God wants to do in our lives. An uncomfortable look formed on her face and she said something about how HR doesn’t allow religion in the workplace. I wasn’t sure if she was kidding or serious, so I asked if it offended her. She said, “Well, it’s definitely weird.” Losing Friends I’ve noticed a difference in some friendships since  dedicating my life fully to God . At times it comes in the form of mocking, especially after sharing a great story that feels highly inspiring, but it also comes in the form of rejection. At first this new dynamic was hard to swallow; it felt like I was being torn between two worlds. It was great getting invites to dinner or drinks with fri...

Keep Jesus at the center!

http://www.worshiphousemedia.com/song-tracks/36556/Jesus-At-The-Center A lmost a year ago, I went to church with a former friend and one of the ministers called me up and started to pray for me and prophesy over my life, one of the things that he told me is that I was being distracted. Immediately I was thinking to myself like this man doesn't even know me... At the time, I just started school, and could not understand what I was being distracted by. Well now over a year later I see it, I ended up in a situation that overtime (months) had become something that started to affect me spiritually, mentally and emotionally. And I started to worry about this, that and the other, this situation started to become the center of my focus, no longer was Christ the center he was alongside it. That wasn't my intention but even when we may have the best intentions at heart, and want the best for our situations, we can STILL be distracted by things. I got distracted, and didn't mean t...

The Lord directs the steps of the Godly ♡

The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. He delights in every detail of their life. Psalms 37:23 Are you at a crossroads with trying to make a really tough decision? Have you continously sought the Lord about something to no prevail? Are you fed up with waiting to hear from God on what you should do next? A few months back I was in South Carolina visiting a friend and her family. I spoke with her brother and sister in law about how I just felt like God wasn't hearing my prayers. I expressed how I was growing weary and needing to make a decision soon on rather to return home or give Texas another year. I also shared with them that I desired belonging, something that I had effortlessly back home. (This year taught me vulnerability I must admit because I went from being very closed off about my weaknesses to sharing them unashamedly. I guess I just came to a place of surrender, seeking answers and direction from whomever could provide them. Crossroads do that.) Her sibli...
