Got Purpose?

[S] John 20:31 --
 ³¹but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

[O] The Book of John starts out with a bold statement of the Word is God and also became flesh (Jesus).  He also recorded many signs of Jesus from water turning into the finest wine and raising Lazarus from the tomb.  The book is filled with lots of exciting stories and a very personal perspective of all that went on with Jesus as one of the disciples closest to Him.  But in the end, John leaves this verse as the ultimate purpose of why he had recorded this book -- that we may believe in God and have life in His name.  Many times, when I'm so busy with activities in a project, I may forget the end goal and get lost in the details of the process along the way.  Same is true when I'm delve into the ministry at church where there are so many components to juggle and refine, I lost the ultimate focus of why I started it in the first place.  As John closes his book here, I, too, must remember and remind myself why I'm doing what I'm doing.  Is it for the sake of people drawing closer to God and eventually enjoying the fullness of life in Him?

[A] Each morning when I wake up, recite myself the purpose of my living another day in the Lord's leadership.  Remind myself it is not to make a name for myself, or for greatest gain materially, but to be conduit of the Love and Life of Jesus to many others I come in contact with.  Remind myself every morning.

[P] Dear God, I want to live purpose-driven day.s every day.  Please lead me with Your Spirit such that I may synchronize my heart each morning by reciting my purpose for that day.  This way, when I have lived a whole year of 365 days, I would have lived a year with a clear purpose.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
