Your Purpose with Christ - 2/9/2021

Hey Family, I just wanted to let you know that your purpose is not to make a bunch of money, it's not to be powerful and famous, and most definitely not to accumulate mounds of stuff. God wants so much more, but also so much less. Let's go to the Father before we dig deeper into this. 

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, today I come to You with the topic of my purpose and how for many years I have struggled with determining what it should be on my heart. But, I am so incredibly grateful that over the past few years you have shown me and shaped me into more and more of the image and purpose that You desire for me to display. That purpose is: to preach the Gospel, to stay connected to You that I may bear the good fruit, and to love others with the unconditional love of Christ. I hope that You might do the same for many others. In Jesus Christ name I pray, Amen."

Scripture

Becoming an Offshoot of Christ

John 15:5-17 NIV

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other. "
