"the purpose driven life"
day 5
"we don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. - anais nin
"the way you SEE your life SHAPES your life.
" how you define life determines your destiny. your perspective will influence how you invest your time, spend your money, use your talents, and value your relationships.
"the Bible offers 3 metaphors that teach us God's view of life :
"
1. life is a TEST. ..trials, temptations, refining, testing...character is both developed and revealed by tests, and ALL of life is a test. an impt test is how you act when you can't feel God's presence in your life. Sometimes, God intentionally draws back, and we don't sense his closeness. when you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life.
"2. life is a TRUST...everything belongs to God. the world is on loan to us....everything we enjoy is to be treated as a trust that God has placfed in our hands. .....the owner says "well done, good and faithful servant! you have been faithful with a few things; i will put you in charge of many things. come and share your master's happiness." -matthew25:21
"3.life is a TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT...[will be elaborated on, tmr]
""unless you are faithful in small things, you won't be faithful in large ones." - luke 16:10a
"What are the greatest matters that God has entrusted to me?"
