Day 3: What drives your life?

Point to Ponder: Living on purpose is the path to peace.

This is really a simple point to ponder, when you finally find your purpose in life you can find happiness and peace in your life. 

Verse to Remember:

"You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you" Isaiah 26:3 (TEV)

Question to Consider: 

Q. What would my family and friends say is the driving force of my life? What do I want it to be?

A. My friends and Family would answer this question in just a few short words, they would say that my driving force is to change the world. During my undergard experience I was all about volunteering my time to help change this or help change that. Lately my driving force has shifted more towards my wife and developing are new family and creating a strong foundation to build our lives on. What I want is to be able to make a physical and mental difference in the world. I want to end hate, I want to promote a world where we love our neighbor and celebrate our differences. Matthew 22:36-40 tells us that loving your neighbor is one of the greatest commandments second only to loving God with all your heart. This verse is what I want my driving force to echo. 


“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-4 (NIV)
