Day 40.........Living with Purpose

Oh gosh. Here we are. The last, the end, the final day. Our study has ended, our learning never will. Hopefully we've all learned that it is possible to have a purpose in our lives. A purpose that matches God's plan for our lives. It's so easy to make excuses, and so hard to stick to good and healthy choices. It's easy to give up. It's hard to stick to it. We have good intentions now. Let's keep them in sight, and in mind. If you have to read this book again, then read it again, and again, if necessary. I know many of you are reading along with us but have never posted your thoughts. That's fine with me, just please keep going. Don't stop growing. Don't forget what you've learned. Apply it to your life. We are called, no really commanded to be evangelists. That doesn't mean we hold that office (remember Jesus gave 5 gifts to the church: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, & Teachers Ephesians 4:11). In others words we're not all anointed to make our number one goal in life to evangelize every single moment of every single day. I know a guy like that, and he's greatly anointed to do it. God has appointed and anointed him to do that. Not everyone is called to be part of the "five fold" ministry, but we are all called to be a witness for Christ. We all have our own anointing (gift) in a specific area, or in several areas. We may not even be aware of it.

I sure have enjoyed studying this book with you all, and I pray we ALL put in to practice what we've learned. Myself included. If you have some special prayer needs, or you just want to chat, contact me and I'll be happy to help. Don't be a stranger. We need to be accountable to one another in order to grow. We can all hide somewhere and pretend we're fine. It's exposing our lives, habits, and daily activities to Christ's light that reveals who we really are, and what we truly value. We MUST have our priorities straight. We need to stop majoring in the minors. Again, myself included. Most of what I'm saying, I'm saying for my own benefit. If you're getting something out of it, great. I don't know if I've been the best guide for you in this study, but I guess I'm all you had. Hehehehehe. I know the Lord has used me for His purpose in this study, and any growth or learning you did, was all because of Him. Not because of me. I just did what I was told.

"When will I take the time to write down my answers to life's five great questions?"

Hopefully Monday, on my day off.

"When will I put my purpose on paper?"

Again, hopefully on Monday.

I'm praying for all of you. I know some of you, I've never met, and probably never will. But God has us all knit together as one unit, as the Body of Christ. You're my brother/sister, and I love you, and you are in my prayers, now and until the day I die. Your friend...............:-) James
