Purpose Driven Life - Day 1
The Purpose Driven Life - What on Earth am I Here for? --- by Rick Warren
It all starts with god
"for everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, ... everything got started in him and find its purpose in him" - Colossians 1:16
It's not about you.
You were born by his purpose and not for his purpose. Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose. You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for!
You cannot arrive at your life's purpose by starting with a focus on yourself. You must begin with god, your creator. You exist only because god wills that you exist. You were made by god and for god - and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
You were made for god and life is about letting god uses you for his purposes, not your using him for your own purpose. Being successful and fulfilling your life's purpose are not at all the same issue.
God has revealed about life in his word. The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it. God is not just the starting point of your life, he is the source of it. To discover your purpose in life you must turn to god's word not the world's wisdom. You discover your identity and purpose through a relationship with Jesus Christ. He planned it before you existed, you don't get to choose your purpose.
