The New Life in Christ: The Benefits of Purpose Driven Living. (The Purpose Driven Life-RICK WARREN.)


Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life:
We were made to have meaning. This is why people try dubious methods, like astrology or physics, to discover it.
When life has meaning, you can bear almost anything; without it, nothing is bearable.
A young man in his twenties wrote, “I feel like a failure because I am struggling to become something, I don’t even know what it is. All I know how to do is to get by. Someday, if I discover my purpose, I’ll feel I’m beginning to live.”
Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.
In the Bible, many people expressed this hopelessness. Isaiah complained, “I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing.”
Job said, “My life drags by-day after hopeless day.” And “I give up; I am tired of living. Leave me alone. My life makes no sense.”
The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.
If you have felt hopeless, hold on! Wonderful changes are going to happen in your life as you being to live it on purpose.
God says, “I know what I am planning for you…’I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future.”

Amen
