Years ago much was made made of Rick Warren's book, The Purpose Driven Life. I remember reading it and then sharing it for many months with inmates at a prison in Lansing, Kansas. I was reminded of it today when I read this quote:
"The purpose of life is a life of purpose." -Robert ByrnePurpose in my life has seemed to come in seasons. When I was young my purpose was to be successful. Purpose took on new meaning when my first wife went blind in my twenties. When healing of that blindness came and my life was transformed by God purpose seemed to take on a new dynamic. Then kids came and purpose got even deeper. Yet in every season it seemed that God helped me to see His purpose in my life. These days I still find His strength by acknowledging His purpose for me. Can you relate?
Yes, definitely. Life is a variety of seasons...some are darker like winter and some are bright and full of new life like Spring.
ReplyDeleteIt is only with His strength that we can go the those seasons and to see his purpose for my life.
Not looking forward to winter Sue. Perhaps a trip to sunny California would be a good idea. ツ
DeleteYes, and we can and do face each stage, the good & the not so good, when Christ is our center. Don't know what I'd do without HIM. Glad I don't have to!!!
ReplyDelete"& the not so good"
DeleteLove that Susana and I love your attitude!
