"A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree." Proverbs II:28 (Msg)
"The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your own wildest dreams and ambitions."
"We as self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose."
"You exist only because God wills that you exist."
"But being successful and fulfilling your life's purpose are not at all the same issue! You could reach all your personal goals, becoming a raving success by the world's standard, and still miss the purposes for which God created you."
"You were made by God and for God - and until you understand that, life will never make sense."
Point to Ponder: It's not about me.
Verse to Remember: "Everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him." Colossians 1:16b (Msg)
Question to Consider: "In spite of all the advertising around me, how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?"
