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"

Read your Bible like your life depends on it because IT DOES!

With love and exhortation Christians, believers in Jesus Christ YOU are responsible for reading and studying the Bible. Not your pastor, your parent or your bestfriend. Never put all your trust in men to teach you, even if it is a man/woman of God in the pulpit. The Bible is clear that we all need to work out our own salvation. (Philippians 2:12) There are too many people calling themselves Christians but they don't even read the Bible. The first thing they do when they're confused about something is look to culture (the world system), people or their feelings for justification. Be very careful about this because the devil is always looking for even the smallest ways to deceive people. And please don't just read the Bible or rely on devotions, study it to show yourself approved. Study it to be able to give a reason for why you believe what you believe. Study it to be able to exalt Christ and what He has done for you. The devil wants illiterate Bible readers who want a ni...

"Why are you so afraid?"

The question: "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" Mark 4:40  The answer" "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." Psalms 56:3 Put your trust in God. Trust Him with your life, He created it.  Surely He knows what He is doing.  Surely He can handle it.  Surely He can take care of you.

Let yourself be loved ♡

"So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us."  1 John 4:16 Love. We all crave it, we all desire it. We seek after it sometimes in all the wrong places. Yet, it's right in front of us, pursuing us constantly with no hesitations.  When I think about how I've sought after love in the wrong men. How I've sought after love in the wrong spaces and even how I manage to push people that I know love me away out of fear. To know that a perfect being loves me so purely and so much that He chose to die on the cross for me lights a fire in me that I have never felt. To know that He chooses to love me through my fears is everything to me. The last blog I wrote about love and I normally don't talk about this subject publicly that much but for whatever reason this season is making me press into it. To hear about love, want it and seek after it is one thing but to realize that it's already present and active in my life hits differently....
