Life Needs Purpose

2 Corinthians 8:12-13  

"For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according 

to that a man hath, and not according to that he 

hath not. or I mean not that other men 

be eased, and ye burdened:" 

     A purpose driven life will give you and others around you equality. Someone once said, "I feel like a failure because I'm struggling to become something, and I don't even know what that is. All I know is how to get by, and if someday 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 hope. In the Bible, many different people expressed this hopelessness. Isaiah complained; "Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God," (Is. 49:4). Job said, "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope," (Job 7:6). The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.

    If you want your life to have impact "Focus It." You were not put on earth to be remembered. You were put on earth to prepare for eternity.  What do you think your family and friends would say is your driving force in your life? What would you say is your driving force in life?

    My Friends, It is impossible to do everything people want you to do. You have just enough time to do God's will. A purpose driven life will give you and others around you equality. "But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:  As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack," (2 Cor 8:14-15).

Amen!
