...purpose

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7

Josh McDowell tells about an executive 'headhunter' who recruits corporate executives for large firms. This headhunter once told McDowell that when he interviews an executive, he likes to disarm him. 'I offer him a soft drink,' said the headhunter, 'take off my coat, undo my tie, throw up my feet and talk about baseball, football, family, whatever, until he's all relaxed. Then, when I think I've got him relaxed, I lean over, look him square in the eye and ask, "What's your purpose in life?"

It's amazing how top executives fall apart at that question. Then he told about interviewing one fellow recently. He had him all disarmed, had his feet up on his desk, talking about football. Then the headhunter leaned over and said, "Bob, what is your purpose in life?'

And the executive said, without blinking an eye, "To go to heaven and take as many people with me as I  can." "For the first time in my career," said the headhunter, "I was speechless."

What is your purpose in Life? 

Have you placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? John 3:16 

Are you daily denying your self, taking up the cross and following Him? Luke 9:23 

Do you love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength and all your mind? Luke 10:27  When you trust in Jesus, you're one of God's children John 1:12-13

Live today full of purpose - seeking to do His will, following Him and serving Him.
