Chapter 7 is about living our lives with focus. Dillow talks about having a life statement of purpose. God's timing is, as always, so good. Lately the pastor has been speaking on what do you want to do with you life, talking about how if we do not know where we are going we can not know when we arrive. Dillow gives 4 women and their life purpose statements as examples; I really like it because they are each very different from one another in their approach. The main similairty is that each of these women want to totally all out live for God; but each of them have a unique angle on it.
But each of them has one or more verses connected with their purpose so I want to start there. I have always said that the passage in Matthew 22:37-40 is what I want my life to be all about. Here's that passage in NLT:
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
Oh Father thank You for being involved in my life. Thank You for saving me and bringing me to Yourself. Thank You for Your grace and mercy that You don't give up on me. Help me to life wholeheartedly, every day for You. May my life be totally Yours. Help me to love You and Love people every day in ways that are real. Help me find a way that will be useful to this end to write out a life purpose statement.
