Hey, Y'all,
Today's thought is from PurposeDrivenLife.com and reminds me of something I recently read and saved (to follow as another post, of course :-)
"Much confusion in the Christian life comes from ignoring the simple truth that God is far more interested in building your character than He is in anything else. Sadly, a quick review of many popular Christian books reveals that many believers have abandoned living for God's great purposes and settle for so-called personal fulfillment and emotional stability. That is narcissism, not discipleship. Jesus did not die on the cross just so we could live comfortable lives. His purpose is far deeper: He wants to make us like Himself before He returns. This is our greatest privilege, our immediate responsibility, and our ultimate destiny."
Kind of gets you thinking: He is far more interested in building my (eternal) character than in my (short-term) comfort. Hmmm...
You've been prayed for today...
