Quick, how would you fill in this blank:

For me to live is ____________________________________________

Before you answer, make a commitment to be honest with yourself. If someone were looking at your calendar and checkbook, what would that reveal about what you live for.

For me to live is ENTERTAINMENT? WORK? FRIENDS? SPORTS?

How YOU fill in the blank will determine your happiness!

There’s only one answer that leads to happiness.

But PLEASE be honest and settle this issue.

Pray:
Dear Jesus, you know that I often let my circumstances determine my happiness. And I often allow the killjoys of pain, problems, pressures, and picky people to rob my happiness. But starting today, I want to practice the 4 secrets that Paul modeled. Help me to look at every problem from your viewpoint. I want to handle my problems in a way that it is a witness to non-believers and an encouragement to believers. Help me to remember that what others say and do doesn’t control my happiness unless I allow it. And for the things that happen that I don’t understand or can’t figure out, I want to trust you to work it all out for good, Help me to stay focused on your purpose for my life, not my problems, I want to use the rest of my life to serve you, by serving others, and then I want to be with you in heaven for eternity. From this day on, for me to live will be Christ. In your name I pray, amen!

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21, NIV)

For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.
(Philippians 1:21, NLT)

Rejoicing, On the Victory Side!
