All throughout our lives, “I just want to live life” is a statement we’ve all heard, and possibly at one point even said ourselves. No matter where you live, how much you make, or what you see as important, when it comes to selfish desires, “living life” seems to top the charts in timeless fashion.Now don’t get me wrong, living life can mean a multitude of things. But when we get honest with ourselves, most of the time “living life” usually means, “Living For Me”.

1) My way

2) My plans

3) My goals

4) My prize

All of these scream selfish…

As Christians we are called to many things, but one of them is not to live for ourselves, but for God. Most of us would say life began the day we were born, but I want you to re-think that statement.

Questions:

-When did you find purpose?

-When did you find comfort?

-When did you find joy?

 Your life begins once God becomes the reason you live it. For God has called us to live for His purpose.

Proverbs 19:21 – Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.
