why purpose?

When you forget the purpose of your life that is a sure way to kill your passion for life and for God. If you don’t know the purpose for life, why bother? Why get up in the morning? Why put forth the effort? Why get out of bed? Life without purpose is activity without direction. It’s motion without meaning. Life without purpose is trivial, petty, and pointless.
Passion and purpose go together. When you have a clear purpose it’s going to give you a lot of passion. But it’s got to be God’s purposes for your life. If you’re only living for yourself, that’s a pretty dinky purpose. That isn’t going to make you very passionate. In fact it’s pathetic. "I’m living for me." That’ll give you a lot of energy to get out of bed in the morning! You need a cause greater than yourself. That gives life significance and gives life meaning. The more you understand God’s purposes for your life and the more you live those purposes the more passionate you’re going to be.
Hobbs wrote this about passion. He said, "Passion is waking up in the morning wherever you are and bounding out of bed because you know there’s something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that God made you for and you’re good at, something that’s bigger than you are and you can hardly wait to get at it again. It’s something that you’d rather be doing than anything else and you wouldn’t give it up for money because it means more to you than money."
Ephesians 2:10 – For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
The benefits living on purpose:
It cuts down on frustration, you know that feeling of not knowing exactly what you are doing or why you are doing what it is that you are doing.
It increases motivation, as in you are far more motivated when you can see results. You can only see results when you understand what you are doing and why.
It allows you to concentrate. Try to find someone who doesn't have purpose or drive in their life and watch them for a bit. They can't concentrate their energies because they don't know what they are doing. They don't know why they are doing anything and their energies go all over the place like crazy.
So understand you were put here to glorify and worship God. You cannot do that if you are busy worshipping money, time, relationships or jobs you just can't. You can't because each of those will run into each other because they are equals, you someone and something much larger than all that. You need God, God can overcome all those things and put you on the right path for sure.
You are GOd's masterpiece, created to do great things. Are you spending time daily finding out what those great things are that He created you to do?
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
