Lesson 5 to Live By

LESSON 5: Our life does have purpose.

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” – Jeremiah 1:5

You've heard "can't see the forest for the trees." Sometimes we are just too close to our daily lives. So close that we just can't see the value we bring to the lives of those around us. Fact is, even the least of these enrich lives around them. It may be that through your encouragement, someone decided to keep a child rather than abort it. Maybe the work that you find so ordinary saves lives every day.  Or maybe the smile on your face each day gives someone the encouragement they need to make it through another day. Sometimes, it's the smallest things that have the greatest impact.  So it is...your life does have purpose.  Every life does.  You may just need to take a step back to see what it is.

Lesson 5 concludes this series.  I hope you have enjoyed it.  To learn where my inspiration came from, rent the movie "5 People You Meet in Heaven."  It just may change your life.

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
