LIVING WITH PURPOSE

by Dawn Johnson

What gives life purpose? Is it the things we do? Who we are? Where we go?  Who we are, where we go and the things we do might be part of our purpose in life or affect our purpose. But as God’s children, our purpose is to live for Jesus, always. To show this dark world the Truth.

We are to love as Jesus loves.
Live like Jesus lived. Sharing His love, grace and mercy.
We are to give as Jesus gives.

So, who we are or think we are, what we do, and where we go should all come from what Jesus wants us to do and be or where He wants us to go to serve Him. To give a little light into the darkness of this world. He is in control, no matter what.

As you ponder the baby Jesus in the manger this Christmas season, remember His purpose for coming.  He lived on this earth like you and me.  He shared His life with others.  Then He went to the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and rose again!  So don’t leave Him in the cradle. Coming to earth as a baby was only the beginning of His purpose to be our Savior.
