40 Days of purpose: Day 3

Day 3: What drives your life?

Everyone's life is driven by something. The pursuit of happiness, financial stability, ambition are just a few of the "carrots" that I've dangled in front of myself at times. But Rick offers some other motivators:

Guilt
Resentment
Anger
Fear
Materialism
Approval

Rick continues stating that, "Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life." A meaning that allows you to live free from those unhealthy and unholy influences which sometimes drive our lives...When we understand that it was God who created us and loves us enough to sustain us, we can live for Him and Him alone. What freedom that brings...

Father, may our only driving force in life be you. May we respond only to your tug on our hearts, and may all other unhealthy or unholy influences fall silent. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Grace and Peace
