It’s not about you!

It all starts with God!

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.” (Colossians 1:16, NIV)

“It is God who directs the lives of his creatures; everyone’s life is in his power.”
(Job 12:10 (TEV))

You were made for God, not vice versa, and life is about letting God use you for his purposes, not using him for your own purpose. Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose or give us lasting happiness.

The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it. The same is true for discovering your life’s purpose and how to experience joy in any circumstance:
Ask God.

Andrei Bitov, a Russian novelist, grew up under an atheistic Communist regime. But God got his attention one dreary day. He recalls, “In my twenty-seventh year, while riding the metro in Leningrad I was overcome with a despair so great that life seemed to stop at once, preempting the future entirely, let alone any meaning. Suddenly, all by itself, a phrase appeared: ‘Without God life makes no sense.’ Repeating it in astonishment, I rode the phrase up like a moving staircase, got out of the metro and walked into God’s light.”

  • How do you let God use you for His good deed?

Rejoicing, On the Victory Side!
