A Life Of Purpose Or Possessions?

June 27, 2016 | Comments Off on A Life Of Purpose Or Possessions?

“What you do every day should contribute to giving your life meaning. If it doesn’t, why are you doing it?” — Don Hutcheson

It sounds so simple doesn’t it?  To live a life of purpose and meaning.  Yet, we seem to struggle in what exactly are we on this earth for.  After the schooling, the relationships, the children, the careers, the houses, cars and titles; what’s left? When you look back over those years, what has defined your life? What can you point to that is of significance and lasting importance?

2 Timothy 1:9 NIV 9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time…

So at the end of the day, do we find ourselves living a life that would be pleasing to Christ or simply living a life that pleases us? Can we have both?  I would say yes.  For if we delight ourselves in Christ, then our lives will have meaning and purpose.  For all that we do with Christ as our foundation, will produce a fruitful life. And a life that produces good fruit, is a life that will have a lasting impact on others. A Life that is born from the love of Christ.

1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Our lives are more than gathering things and possessions.  Its what we possess within us.  Its what we are created to do for God and His glory and not our own, that gives our lives purpose and meaning.

May you find your ultimate purpose for life in Christ.
