Day 16

Purpose Driven life

What Matters Most

no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I am bankrupt without love

Love means living the way God commands us to live as you have heard from the beginning, his command is this live a life of love

2 John 1:16

life is about love

God is about love

and the lesson he wants you to learn on earht is now how to love = love is the foundation of everything comman he has given us

to learn unselfishly is not an easy task

"your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples"

John 13:35

in eternity we are going to be with God's family but first we have some tough work to do here on earth to prepare ourselves for an eternity of loving

God wants you to begin regular close fellowship with other believers so you can develope the skills of loving, love cannot be learned in isolation

THE BEST USE OF LIFE IS LOVE

love shoud be your top priority, primary objective and greatest

love is not a good part of your life, is is the most important part

LIFE WITHOUT LILOVE IS REALLY WORTHLESS

often we act as if relationship are something to be squeezed into our schedule we talked about if doing time for our children or making time for people in our lives

that gives the impression the relationship is just a part of our lives a long with many often tasks but God says relationships are what life is all about

4 of the 10 commandements deal with our relationships to God while the other 6 deal with our relationship with people

Jesus sumarizes what matters most to God

Love God !!! Love His people!!!

After learning to love God (worship) Now is the time to learn love others your second purpose

LOVE WILL LAST FOREVER

love leaves a legacy

how you treat others people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most induring impact you can leave on earth

WE WILL BE EVALUATED ON OUR LOVE

one of the ways GOD measures spiritual maturity using the quality of your relationship

"the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love"

Galations 5:6

if you do nothing else today make sure you ask God to help you spend time loving God and other people because that is what LIFE is about

THE BEST EXPRESSION OF LOVE IS TIME

know someones priorities just look at how they use thier time

you can make more money but not more time. greatest gift you can give someone is your time

most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate it is focused attention (your time)

you can give without loving but you cannot love without giving

love means giving up - yeilding my prefrences - comfort - goals- security, money - enderyg- or time 0 for the benefits of someone else

THE BEST TIME IS NOW!!!

why is NOW the best time to express love??? because you don't know how long you will have the oppurtunity circumstances change, people dies, children grow up, you have no guarantee of tomorrow....

Day 16

thinking of my purpose

Point to ponder:

life is all about love

Verse to Remeber:

"the entire law is summed up in a single command : 'love your neighbor as yourself'"

Galations 5:14

Question to Consider:

Honesty, are relationships my first priority? how can I ensure that they are?


UGH I forgot the devotion .. I will post that tomorrow when I do the write up to this and the following day.... please forgive me.. I should be better organzied.. UGH...

OOOO ... ugh...

DAY 16
 
WHAT MATTERS MOST
 
No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt
without love.  l corinthians 13:3b (Msg)
 
Life is all about love.
Because God is love, the most important lesson He wants you to learn
on earth is how to love.  It is in loving that we are most like Him, so
love is the foundation of every command He has given us.
 
Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you
are my disciples.  John 13:35 (LB)
 
Love should be your top priority, primary objective and greatest ambition.
Let love be your greatest aim.  l Corinthians 14:1a (Msg)
 
God says relationships is what life is all about.  Four of the Ten Commandments
deal with our relationship with God, the other six deal with our relationships
with other people. 
 
After learning to love God (worship) learning to love is our second purpose. 
 
These three things will continue forever:  faith, hope and love.  And the
greatest of these is love.  1 Corinthians 13:13 (NCV)
 
In our final moments we all realize that life is all about relationships.  Wisdom
is learning that truth sooner rather than later.  Dont wait until you are on your
deathbed to figure that out.
 
Why should God give you another day if you are going to waste it?
 
The importance of things can be measured how much time we give them.
The more time we give them, the more important we realize they are to us.
If you want to know a person's priorities, see how they spend their time.
Time is your most precious gift as you only have a certain amount of it.
It's not enough to say relationships are important:  We have to prove it by
investing time.  Love is giving up, yielding up my preferences, comfort,
goals, security, money, energy or time for the benefit of someone else.
 
1.  Work towards making relationships my lst priority.
 
This book prepares you for eternity.  This is what God is doing to me
- refining and perfecting me.  Romans 12:2 (NLT)
 
God has changed areas of my life in my way of thinking.
 
All you are taking with you is your character.  When you give someone
your time you are giving them a portion of your life you cant get back.
Whenever you give someone your time you are making a sacrifice and
sacrifice is the essence of love. 
 
QTC  Honestly are relationships my lst priority?  How can I make sure
they are. 
 
I must give more time to my relationships.
 
God bless
