Purpose

Purpose is the intent behind an action being done, an object existing or being made or used. Purpose can be synonymous with the goal or the intended result of an action.

So what will make 2010 different? What is my part? Am I just supposed to let life happen?

I need to live a purposeful life, a life full of purpose. We all want to know God’s purpose for our lives don’t we? So here is what it takes to have a purposeful life:

· We must purpose to live a life of discipline – a life where we have the discipline to do what we say we will do the discipline to do what we know we should do and the discipline to avoid what should be avoided.

· We must purpose to be grateful for the life we have, not focus on what we don’t have.

· We must purpose to “have a good day”. It is our choice as to how we let the day affect us.

· We must purpose to have fun. It is a dull life if you aren’t having some fun.

· We must purpose to help someone else. If we only focus on us we miss so many opportunities.

· We must purpose to explore new things. What if we had never been made to taste chocolate?

· We must purpose to love Jesus, it is only through Him that our lives are complete and purposeful.

Through Him we have the discipline and strength. It is through Him that we owe all our thanksgiving, through Him that we can risk stepping out. It is through Him that we have joy indescribable.
