extracts from "A purpose driven life" by rick warren.
chapter 1
"If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. you were born by his purpose and for his purpose.
"Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.
"you cannot arrive at your life's purpose by starting with a focus on yourself. you must begin with God, your Creator. you exist only because God wills that you exist. you were made by God and for God.
"life is about letting God use you for his purposes.
"we can turn to what God has revealed about life in his Word. the easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it...ask God.
"God is not just the starting point of your life. He is the SOURCE of it.
"It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.[ephesians 1:11(the message)]
"without God, life makes no sense.
"Everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in him[colossians :16b]"
i'm gonna try to type bits from each chpt everyday if i can. so follow up ok? i hear that this book is reeeaaally good.
