I'm not what I ought to be. I'm not what I want to be. I'm not what I hope to be. Still I'm not what I used to be. And by the grace of God, I am what I am

Living Purposefully

It’s really easy to get caught up in the worlds ways of money-making, getting known, and the strive for successful living. But what if I told you God could care less about those things? In fact, what if I told you that God isn’t focused on your worldly success at all.

What a relief…

It’s true. Just think about it. When it comes down to the reality of why we are living on this planet, do you think God really wants us to join in on what the world has created? No, He wants us to be the difference and stand out for His name (Romans 12:2). The last thing the world needs is more people following its shallow and vicious ways.

We were made to be more than puppets of the world. It’s time to start giving ourselves a little credit. Don’t forget that we are a children of The King, and we were made for more than a paycheck and materialistic things.

We were made to make a difference. We are destined for greatness (Jeremiah 1:5).

Worldly success will never compare to purposeful living. And until your heart can wrap itself around this vital truth, your worth will never be fulfilled because you are seeking to fill it from a place that doesn’t have what you need. Way too many times have I seen men and women of all ages being let down by the world, only to get back up and try again. It’s time to break through the lies of the world, and seek purposeful living through the one who it is founded upon.
