I started reading A Purpose Driven Life and it's changing the way I think about my life. My whole perspective is changing so I'm going to add what I'm learning to this blog.
This first section is called What Am I Here For?
and the firs chapter is It All Starts with God.
The scripture verses are Colossians 1:16 and a quote:
Unless you assume a God, the question
of life's purpose is meaningless.
Bertrand Russell, atheist
So basically the first line says: It's not all about you.
Now in today's world the general consensus is it IS all about me, so this first line upset me a little, but after reading further I discovered that I'm free to live a happy life and make choices to achieve that but that my PURPOSE in life is determined by God.
Wow! Imagine that. I have a purpose designed specifically for me and I'm not in the driver's seat with that. How exciting and freeing that is. I wonder what my purpose is. I'm sure God will direct me until I discover for myself what that purpose is.
