This is your Life Purpose

I am hoping that everyone who reads this will try something new in their life.  It is called a "Life Purpose Statement."  As you already know God has a purpose for each and everyone of us.  That purpose is for us to have eternal life and be with Him in Heaven forever!  Below are a few ways in which we can further enhance our purpose in life and focus on God while in the process.

Prayerfully ask God to reveal your personal earthly purpose to you. Read Psalm 25:8-10 and Proverbs 16:3.  Put your complete trust in God's promise and He will answer.   

Ask yourself the following questions in order to create your "Life Purpose Statement."  As you continue to read God's word and build upon His promise you will begin to see additional areas in your life where you can find new ways of growing. 

 To  get you started I have completed the first area with what I intend to center my life on.

• What will be the center of my life?

My Lord and Savior will be the center of my life.  I will  focus on Him each and everyday from the time I awake until I lay down to sleep.  Constant little prayers will be my success in making this work.  Prayers of thanks for even the little things accomplished during my day and prayers for brethren when I hear of tragedy in other parts of the world or here at home.  

•  What will be the character of my life?

•  What will be the contribution of my life?

•  What will be the communication of my life?

Please start your own "Life Purpose Statement" just as soon as you can and share the idea with others. Watch and see just how much it will make you think and grow Spiritually.  Our Lord and Savior wants a relationship with us so much that He died on Calvary to prove it!  When you finish your statement give your prayerful praises to the Lord for His help in what will be a great beginning in your purpose filled life.  Show your statement to a friend and be glad in it. You have a purpose in this world and what better way to show it than your own "Life Purpose Statement."

The following poem by Russell Kelfer sums it up very nicely:

You are who you are for a reason.

You're part of an intricate plan.

You're a precious and perfect unique design,

Called God's special woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.

Our God made no mistake.

He knit you together within the womb,

You're just what He wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,

And no matter how you may feel,

They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,

And they bear the Master's seal.

No, that trauma you faced was not easy.

And God wept that it hurt you so;

But it was allowed to shape your heart

So that into his likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason,

You've been formed by the Master's rod.

You are who you are, beloved,

Because there is a God!
