a.
Purpose gives meaning to your life. You begin to live
the day you discover your purpose in life. The greatest tragedy is not death
but life without meaning. You need hope to cope.
b.
Purpose simplifies life – it defines what you do and
what you don’t do; a standard. It leads to peace of mind.
c.
Purpose focuses life – it focuses all your energy,
skills, and intellect on what is important. You become effective by being
selective. Without a clear purpose, you will keep changing jobs, friends, churches,
directions or even marriages and other externals with the hope of finding
fulfillment. There is nothing more powerful than a focused life, (e.g.
magnifying lens can set grass on fire, and laser rays can cut through thick
steel.) Don’t confuse activity with productivity; you can be busy and not
effective.
d.
Purpose motivates life – Passion, energy and joy are
results of purpose driven life.
Meaningless work not overwork wears us out, saps our strength and robs
our joy.
e.
Purpose prepares us for eternity – no matter the
legacy you are creating or the monument you have built; what matters most is
not what the people are saying about you but what God says. Don’t forget;
achievements are surpassed, records are broken, reputations fade and tributes
are forgotten. Nobody will remember you or what you have done over time. We
were not put on earth to be remembered, we are here to prepare for eternity. God will one day asks us two vital questions;
i.
What did you do with My Son, Jesus
Christ?
ii.
What did you do with what I gave
you?
