1.    The Biggest Tragedy in Life is not  life's - worst or death - but it is Life without Purpose !
      Life without reason & purpose is an experiment - and life is too short for experimentation.
2.    God never experiments - in Isaiah 46:10 God says 'I make known the end before the beginning !
3.    Read Ecclesiastes 3:10-11, 3:1 - God gives Everything a Time to perfect itself (its Purpose) !
Everything that exists has a Purpose & to every Purpose there is a Time. So we each come into
this life with a Purpose & there's a Time - given to each of us to fulfill it - and we ain't got forever.
       
            The 'Burden' of Ecclesiastes 3:10 is the Responsibility - we have to find out what ..
         is our Purpose and - then to get to it -- cause we don't  have forever to do it !
         We each must get busy with our Purpose before our Time runs our - that's Responsibility !

4.    What is Purpose? It is the original Cause (Intent) for the creation of anything. Purpose is what
 is wanted that caused a maker to make it. Every manufacturer wants something first -
 so he .. mak
es it to - get something he wants. -- So Purpose  is always before creation.
5.    Ephesians 1:4-5 God chose (the saved) in Him before the creation of the world to be Holy !
     Your Creator & Holy Loving, Forgiving God pre-destined .. You to be His .. In Christ !
6.    So I didn't come into this world looking for a Purpose - I came here Because of one !   We
 each were born because there's something for each of us to do - not for us to find something

 to do.  We each came to life with an assignment. An Assignment brought you & me here !
7.    Is your life an experiment? If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.
      A person without a Purpose is like a ship without a rudder, just drifting with any tide.
8.    If you don't know your Purpose, then  someone  will give you theirs !
9.    If you want to know the Purpose of anything - don't ask the thing, because purpose is only
known in the mind of the Maker of anything created & any being - including satan, the deceiver !

10.     Jesus Proved It !  - Seek & You Will Find - Take God for His Word -- Know  your Maker !
11.    So many folks only know God as creator & protector - they only know God by His Works.
        The tribe of Israel only knew God's Works, but Moses knew -- His Ways !
12.     When you know what a person is thinking - you understand what he is doing.
13.     If you don't know the mind of your Maker, how can you know His Purpose for you?
14.     Your Purpose in life is not necessarily what others want you to do. So if you don't  know
         your Purpose, you'll get snared into fulfilling other people's dreams instead of your own.
         Without Purpose abuse is inevitable - abuse of your time, talent, beauty, & uniqueness !
15.     A person with Purpose can not  be intimidated for long. No one can - forever frighten a
         person who - Knows their God-Given Purpose ! - Again & Again -  Jesus  Proved It !
16.     What are your - Motivational Gifts ? Read Romans 12:4-13  Your Purpose in Living - Shows !
17.    The Biggest Tragedy in Life is  Not - trying to become - the Saint you were born to be..
                                  Set Apart By God's  Purpose  -  For  You   Alone !

        Be the Real You !  Start today. It's a process of true change with God behind you ..
        All the way !  Oh Lord, we each need Your Divine Patience & Guidance. Help us Lord
        to Honestly Listen and Trust You - without  ourselves (our me) - getting in the way !

Oh Lord, Our Purpose for Living - "Shows" ..
The Place of Blessing is Never, a Selfish Place

"May we each try to enter the 'ARK'
  Everyday Acts of Random Kindness"

 Small deeds done are better
  than great deeds planned

THE RIGHT and WRONG APPROACHES TO GOD
 
The Only 2 Ways to Approach God - the right way & the wrong way.
       EVERYONE .. Approaches God One of These Ways:
 
1. The Wrong way is by way of performance, self-effort, self-trust - 'God, I do these things & I don't do those things': it's a self-righteous, self-centered approach - No deep confession, no true repentance, no humility, no helplessness.  No talk about who he is , just his external do's & don'ts.
  'Good folks' say this "I haven't been bad enough to go to hell ... come on ! "  They believe they can ...Earn Salvation ! They believe Behavior will save them ! They don't take their sin seriously. No intimate need of Christ. No time for Christ. No thirst for Christ. Their motive for being a Christian is
... Safety !

  There's not a single verse in the Bible that says we are acceptable in the eyes of God due to our performance. If performance saves, then the Cross was a mistake. You can't save yourself. If you sin or ever did sin, then by God's clear definition of atonement, you could never pay your sin debt.
 Jesus said ...'I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me' (John 14: 6).
  'There is no one who does good, not even one... There is no fear of God before their eyes' (Romans 3:10-18). The question is not if you believe Christ, but does He believe you !

He who does not believe has been judged already with confusion & doubt, guilt & fear, hiding vs seeking, short sightedness, tinsel vs treasure, self-made confidence, no truth, no freedom, no rest, pride ...full, & eventually a harden heart resulting in bitterness & brokeness beyond healing. And mankind is without excuse ! Read Romans 1:18-32.
 
2. The Right way to approach God: Let's start our intro with a few
     excerpts from our paper, 'Why Suffering, Lord ? ..
  

Suffering will bless the one: Who knows he needs God.
- Who humbles himself before God in Brokeness.
- Who bows to God in Confession, & utter Helplessness.
- Who takes his sin Seriously & knows he can't save himself.
- Who seeks to Know God begging Him for mercy & pardon.
- Who accepts Christ's unconditional offer of Salvation.

Suffering can give you an Overflow of Thankfulness & Knowing
you are forever a child of God - no matter what ! .. 
Confusion, distrust,
guilt, fear, & me-centered priorities 
will be replaced with confidence,
peace, & new purpose with Christ on the throne of your life ..
 
         TAKING GOD - FOR HIS WORD ! 
 
Renewed Peace & Purpose / Set apart by God, for God !

To truely be used by God, one .. must be Broken; like
a vessel that must be emptied before it can be Filled !

       Jesus said 'No one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is Born Again' (John 3:3-5) It's being 'Born Again': Alive to God: new affection to God, new thirst for God, new Life, new creation, a new Spirit - The Holy Spirit (Christ Himself) now living inside the believer.

With Saving belief in Christ comes the 'New Birth', not some intellectual belief (even the demons believe ! , James
2:19). The 'New Birth' is the indwelling of God Himself, the Holy Spirit within a believer. Salvation is Christ's Life in you. You can't be truely drawn to God without God Himself doing the pulling ... the mighty Holy Spirit living in you  is the 'New Birth' = The GIFT of being Born Again = ALIVE  to God (Father, Son, & Holy Spirit) !

The Holy Spirit is the Seal, the Guarantee of your Salvation: It's God Himself in you & in you to Stay Forever ! - Forgiven by Christ's death for you - Saved by His Life in you. Jesus' last breath Promised YOU .. ' It is Finished ' !


From Brokeness comes Blessing ! Your motive for being a Christian changes from a fear (of not going to heaven) to Knowing this: 'neither death, nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from Christ Jesus' (Romans
8:38). Nothing &  No one can steal your salvation. That includes yourself ! - Christ said ' It is Finished ' !

Obedience (Following the Truth !) always begins after you've been saved !
A true believer chooses to follow Christ. Love is not a feeling - it's a choice. The feeling follows the choice. Faith in Christ is a  commitment to who you believe is God ('I and the Father are one.', John 10:30). It's not 'doing good' performance nor self sacrifice ! Religious 'Legalism' is mere performance - it's like starching a shirt that hasn't been washed.

A person, who is saved, can become trapped into sin; but the Holy Spirit will convict him of Christ's righteousness, of  the sin in his life, & the immanent judgement & discipline that is coming on his life. The Lord disciplines His children, His own (Hebrews 12:4-11) - 'I give them eternal life, & no one can snatch them out of my hand.' (John 10:28)

The true believer will sin, but will be drawn towards a closer relationship with Christ because 'The Holy Spirit' Lives in him. Christ's Life in you is
your only hope of Salvation and in your God-Given Soul - you know it !

Only upon Christ, the Rock, can you do God's will ! The wise man built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew and beat against the house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. (Matthew 7:24-25)...The fool built his house on shifting sand.
Building on sand is to place your faith on anything (fame, power, intelligence, beauty, money, popularity, good works, etc.; even service to the church, attendance, donations, etc.)..
   On Anything, other than Jesus Christ !

Our 'god-playing' goes like this ..  It's Me they'll see, It's Me & Mine !
Oh Lord, I know you are Devine - But I'm so busy - just bein'  My Me !

May we replace our faith in the 'gods' of this world (the shifting sand) with honest heart for Jesus, may we strive to put Jesus First - Because of our THANKFULNESS !  May we stop simply regretting our sin, but turn away from it ...Knowing we are powerless to turn from sin without Jesus Christ.

May we lay aside our SELF, as we seek HIS Holiness to touch our lives, thru His Power - Not ours ! ...Humbly & Reverently offer your naked soul before Jesus & yearn for His Will, in His Way - to be done. As He fills you up with Himself (The Holy Spirit), you will weep as your soul, like a cup, overflows.

'Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted' (2Timothy3:12) . Expect suffering (1 Peter
4:12-17) Yet, as we've learned, Suffering is a Strengthener and it prepares the children of God to be able to Stand and Shine with True Strength & Confidence (read Psalm 18: 28-36)
!

Remember that the Promise of the Rainbow is found not in cloud-free days, but in the midst of the storm ! Rejoice as you wait on the Lord's Guidance & sing a New song: Glory Bound ! Thank You Dear Jesus, I'm Glory Bound .. Lost then Found - through Your Suffering & Your Seeking, now I'm in Your Keeping -- I'm Glory Bound ! -- Now, Life's got Meaning - I'm Glory Bound !
