I enjoy them about as often as most things that are good for me…about 37.2% of the time.
That’s OK; I don't think they're always meant to be enjoyed.
I don't agree with everything Rick Warren says (I don't even agree w/myself 100% of the time). But his ministry has helped me stick to the "narrow path" many a day.
Occasionally, the Purpose Driven devotional includes a call for service that shuts me down. Some days my service simply cannot extend beyond preparing a semi-decent meal for my kids. And actually listening when they speak.
On those days (OK, this day), it helps to remember that Jesus said:
"The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." John 6:29If you're having a not-so-purpose-driven day, know that to believe is an act of service.
No one lives up to their purpose every day; celebrate the moments when you do. If you feel like sharing one of your shining purpose driven moments, by way of "comments" on this blog, please do.
I pray that the unfailing love and grace of Christ uplift you today. Bless you, beautiful children of God. xoxox, Cheeky
