PURPOSE #2 - I  Was Planned for God's Family - FELLOWSHIP Day 15 - Formed For God's Family God wants a family and He created me to be a part of His family. God's family is the church and this is my spiritual family. My spiritual family is even more important than my physical family because my spiritual family will last forever. As a part of God's family, here on earth, I get to share in the family fortune - the riches of his grace, kindness, patience, glory, wisdom, power, mercies. As part of God's family in eternity, I will get to be with God forever, I will be completely changed to be like Christ, I will be freed from all pain, death and suffering.

PURPOSE #1 - I  Was Planned for God's Pleasure - WORSHIP Day 8 - Planned for God's Pleasure Bringing pleasure to God is called Worship. God did not need to create me but He chose to create me for his own enjoyment. I am not insignificant - I am loved and cherished by God. He created me for a reason - I exist for His benefit, I exist to be loved by Him, I exist for His glory, I exist to bring him Pleasure, I exist only for Him. So it is not about who I think I am, where I think I am , what I think I am, it is all about who God says I am, where God say I am, what God says I am. Ephesians 1:5 - Because of His love God had already decided that through Jesus Christ He would make us His children. This was His pleasure and purpose I bring pleasure to God by worshipping Him. Worship is anything that I do that brings pleasure to God. Worship is more than music, it is a lifestyle. Worship is not for my benefit, it is for God's benefit. Worship is  not part of my life, it is m...

Day 1 - It All Starts with God My life begins and ends with God and He created me for a purpose. I was made for God and life is all about letting God use me for his purposes, not using him for my own purpose. I was made by God and for God. Colossians 1:16b - Everything got started in him and finds its purpose in Him. Day 2 - I  Am Not an Accident I am not an accident, I was planned and I was created as a special object of God's love. My personality, my background and physical apperance was all custom made by God. Nothing is a mistake, I am the way I am because God created and made me that way and it is for a purpose. Stop wishing I was like someone else. God made me unique. Ephesians 1:4 - Long before He laid down the earth's foundation, He had me in mind, He settled on me as the focus of His love Day 3 - What Drives My life? Don't allow fear to drive my life. God's purpose is not limited by my circumstances or past memories. I should not let fear which i...
