BE AWARE OF YOUR PURPOSE

BE AWARE OF YOUR PURPOSE
I was part of a meeting my colleague invited me to earlier today and after about an hour into the meeting, I started to ask myself the following questions:
1. Am I adding value to anyone here?
2. Is this going to help my purpose or future?
3. Is this part of my job description and what I'm being paid to do?
I realised the answers to those questions were negative.
At that time I realised I was wasting time and was only there to please my colleague.
I immediately excused myself and off I went.
Why am I sharing this with you?
1. Never do anything for the sake of just pleasing people.
If it doesn't serve God's purpose for your life or add value to people's lives, you should not be found there.
You are a person of value, and your time is valuable. Don't waste it!
2. The awareness of your purpose sets your priorities in life.
Even though you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, it doesn't mean you have to do all things!
One of the most important things in life is to note that even though all things are lawful for you, not all of them are beneficial.
The awareness of God's purpose for your life helps you to differentiate the essential from the non-essential.
The demand you place on your abilities and your time has to be in accordance to your purpose.
Life is too short and you don't have eternity to do what you were created to do, so you must be wise in this regard.
You must learn to "making the most of your time because the days are evil." [Ephesians 5:16 NASB]
I believe in you.
