Point to Ponder: It's not about me
The first line of chapter one is "It's not about you", a hard pill to swallow but a message that is meant to hit home. My life is not about me me me. It is about SO much more. It is about my wife and my family, but most importantly is is about God and his will.
Verse to Remember:
"For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible... everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him" Colossians 1:16 (MSG)
Question to Consider:
Q. In spite of all the advertising around me, how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?
A. I think that I have to look and find God in everything I see. I have to look and see God in that billboard or TV show. It sounds silly to say, but if you look hard enough you can truly see God in everything. Some things are harder then others; however, it is easy to see God in my wife or my young nephews and baby niece. When I live my life for my family it becomes easier to live for God because I can see God shining in my life through them.
Are you starting a Purpose Driven Life today? Good idea with the blog! I will look forward to reading it! It will be neat to see different perspectives. I think you have a lot of wisdom. I remember when we were thinking about who to choose for Rachel's Godfather.. it had been a huge stress for a while.. and then all of a sudden after praying about it (who would have thought)... God laid your name on my heart. I am glad he did.. Rachel is very blessed.
