Begin With A Friendship

From: The Purpose Driven Life Ministries

Ephesians 5:17 "Do not continue in ignorance, but try to discern the will of the Lord."

It’s wise to figure out why you were put on earth. It’s unwise to go through life without a clue. Fortunately, God doesn’t play games with us. He wants us to understand His will for our lives. When we look toward the wrong things, we create barriers to discovering God’s will.

Here’s the key: God’s will for your life begins with a friendship. God is far more interested in having you establish a relationship with Him than He is interested in having you follow a set of rules.

First and foremost, God wants you to get to know Him, like He already knows you. Once this relationship is established everything else—career, family, goals, recreation, ambitions, finances, health and friendships—will begin to fall into their proper place.

Regardless of the circumstances of your birth, you are not an accident. God does have a plan for you life and He wants you to not only know it, but to succeed at it!
