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"

Quick Blog: Giving to others.

Throughout my walk with Christ, I have been truly learning how to love others, and stop making everything about me. I have always been a generous, giving, and kind person. But because of being so generous I have been taking advantage of several times by people I would not have thought would do me like that. And yet because I have a kind heart, I still continue to love on them, and help them.If it wasn't for Christ, I would have a bitter heart towards all of those people who did those things to me. I want to live Christ-like, so I choose to keep loving the unloving, and forgiving the unforgiving because I know it will help me grow spiritually, and draw me closer to God. In the bible it says it is better to give, than receive (Acts 20:35). I find myself asking God, how come I have yet to meet other young Christians that are like me, giving, with a pure heart? How come I keep finding myself giving, and not ever receiving? Than I instantly have t...

Sometimes the walk in Christ can be a lonely walk. You may feel like you can't relate to anyone, you may feel as though all your friends have turned their back on you, but know that Jesus is with you every step of the way. Stick with Jesus, he's all you need, he's a friend that sticks closer than a brother. God will cause people to leave your life, because they aren't good for you anymore. He is leading you in a new direction now, just trust that he is protecting you from the bad things that may happen to you. Embrace his love, and protection. He will send you new friends and put you through new experiences<3

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...
