What drives your life?

The 5 main circumstances, emotions & values that can drive your life;

  1. Many people are driven by GUILT - These type of people are manipulated by their memories. God's purpose is not limited by our past. He is specialized in giving people a fresh start! - "What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! ... What a relief for those who have confessed their sins and God has cleared their record.
  2. Many people are driven by RESENTMENT AND ANGER - Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold onto the pain through resentment. - "To worry yourself to death with resentment would be a foolish, senseless thing to do."
  3. Many people are driven by FEAR - Fear is a self-imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God wants you to be. You can defeat it through Faith & Love. "Well-formed love banishes fear."
  4. Many people are driven by MATERIALISM - This tends to drive people to wanting to possess more. Possession only provide temporary happiness.
  5. Many people are driven by THE NEED FOR APPROVAL - This includes expectations from parents and peer-pressure.
By KNOWING your purpose;
In the end, God will asks us 2 questions;
  1. "What did you do with My Son, Jesus Christ?"
  2. "What did you do with what I gave you?
The 1st question will determine where you spend eternity.
The 2nd question will determine what you do in eternity.

Isaiah 26:3; "You, Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in You."
