The Fulfilled Life
There is a truth I live with each day of my life –
When I stand in the presence of Jesus, He will not ask – Why were you not Paul? He will ask, why were you not Tony?
A story is told of a man who died and was able to speak with Peter in Heaven. He asked Peter – Who were the greatest men and women who lived on earth?
Peter took him into a huge room filled with drawers containing cards with people’s names and their assigned purpose.
As he pulled out card after card he realized none of the names were familiar to him. Peter replied, they never accomplished their purpose. God intended greatness for each of them.
Each individual’s original purpose is to make a difference. You alone can do best what you were created by God to do.
Purpose is the intent or reason for existence. You may live a “Filled Life” but never be “Fulfilled.”
To engage in your purpose is the highest activity of your being.
Purpose is often hindered, interrupted by circumstance. God always intended for us to be “defined” by our purpose – not by our circumstance.
Whoever you are at the core of your being will determine the substance of your life.
God is always going to do something good with any and every situation. God always gives us something better than we expect and deserve. He provides some better thing.
God always gives something better than He permitted to be taken away.
Your purest purpose is something you love. Do it with all the passion of your heart and significance will follow.
