WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR
The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal
fulfillment.
o If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with
God. You were born for his purpose.
o Without God life makes no sense.
God made you for a reason. God never does anything accidentally
and he never makes mistakes.
The benefits of a purpose-driven life
o Knowing your purpose simplifies your life.
It defines what you do and what you dont do.
Your purpose becomes the standard you use to evaluate your lifes activities.
People who dont know their purpose try to do too much.
o Knowing your purpose focuses your life.
It concentrates your efforts on whats important.
If you want your life to have impact, focus it!
o Knowing your purpose motivates your life.
Purpose always produces passion.
Nothing energize like a clear purpose.
The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking and trusting God
during trials, surrendering while suffering, and loving him when he seems distant.

Overcoming temptation
o Recognize your pattern of temptation and be prepared for it.
o Refocus your attention on something else. The more you fight the temptation,
the more it controls you. Ignoring a temptation is far more effective.
o Reveal your struggle to a close friend. Dont conceal it; reveal it.
