What on earth am I here for?

After friends introduced me to the book entitled "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren, I found that I couldn't stop reading it. Sometimes I would go over the same set of pages several times just to make sure that I have absorbed the essence of the passages.

What's the book all about ? Well, it concerns "What on earth am I here for?". Therefore, I thought I'll start a BLOG to capture my thoughts about this very important topic and share these with all the world.

Here goes ..........

Chapter One: It all starts with God.

Thoughts:

1. It's not about you.

2. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness.

3. You were born by HIs purpose and for His purpose.

4. Contrary to what many popular books, movies, and seminars tell you, you won't discover your life's meaning by looking within yourself.

5. You can usually succeed in reaching a goal if you put your mind to it. But being successful and fulfilling your life's purpose are not at all the same issue.

6. God's purpose for our life predates our conception.

Thinking about my purpose

Point to ponder:

It's not about me.

Verse to remember:

Everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him, Col 1:16.

Question to consider:

In spite of all the advertising around me, how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?
