BE Purposeful ~ What on Earth am I here for?

BE Purposeful ~ According to His purpose.

Romans 8:28-31
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose... If God is for us, who can be against us?"

​What on Earth am I here for!?  Haven't we all asked that question?
 The Purpose Driven Life is a bible study book written by Christian pastor Rick Warren and published in 2002. The book offers readers a 40-day personal spiritual journey and presents what Warren says are God's five purposes for human life on Earth:

Purpose #1: You Were Planned for God's Pleasure (Christian Worship)
Purpose #2: You Were Formed for God's Family (Christian Church)
Purpose #3: You Were Created to Become Like Christ (Discipleship)
Purpose #4: You Were Shaped for Serving God (Christian Ministry)
Purpose #5: You Were Made for a Mission (Christian mission)

The Purpose Driven Life was on the New York Times Bestseller List for over 90 weeks. It sold over 18 million copies by 2008,and 32 million copies within its first decade, 2012. According to both the author and publisher Simon & Schuster, 50 million copies had been sold
in more than 85 languages by 2020.

Incredible, right?  Not really... because the remainder of the chapter goes on to explain how the quest for personal fulfillment, satisfaction, and meaning can only be found in
understanding and DOING what God placed you on Earth to do.

Just a week ago we celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jrs. life and honored his death.  Even though we may think his time was cut short here on the Earth, God has His plan.  I believe Dr. King fulfilled God’s purpose for his time… based upon his quote below:
 “Use me God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use if for a purpose greater than myself.”    -Martin Luther King, Jr. 

 Christie and I have been stirring about this Plan Be | Be Designed To Be Ministry for many years!  We believe that the truths of Scripture will transform your life when you make the time to understand them and then implement (DOING) them each day. Living in the confidence of God’s promises, the fruit of the spirit, developing a real relationship with Jesus  - - -this is how you find your purpose and change the lives of those around you!  Don't just understand  Your Plan BE, DO your Plan BE!!

Do you think Rick Warren had any idea his book would reach so many people around the Earth and transform their lives?!  Did Martin Luther King, Jr. know then the impact his life and passion would make, probably forever? Don’t underestimate how God can use you!  Be Purposeful…Pray each day this week for God to fill you with His Spirit and embrace the purpose He has for you on Earth.

PRAYER:  Heavenly Father, Powerful Jesus: “Use me.  Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use if for a purpose greater than myself.”   Amen
In His Mighty Purpose for you,
