Bull's Eye Living

While back in youth group we talked about Bull’s Eye living and your Life Mission.

I thought I would share this.

I often times think about my future and purpose in life also I sometimes think what I value and why God made me?

What are you aiming for in life?

What is Value?

God is like a target for glorifying him. Target is God. Value is those things I see as important enough to influence my thoughts and behaviors. Think about… what do we truly value? What does the world value?

The world values pleasure in Luke 8:14 say the seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear but as they go on their way they are choked by life worries, riches, and pleasure and they do not mature. The world also values possession in Luke 12:15 says then he said to them Watch Out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed a mans life does not consist in be abundance of his possession. The last thing is popularity in Psalms 49: 18 through 19 says though while he lived he counted himself blessed and men praised you when your prosper he will going he generation of his fathers who will never see the light of life.

Now the decision is your decide what is really important. Number one what is really important in your life? Number 2 destroy what is not important to your Philippain 3: 8 says what is more I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Jesus Christ my Lord for who shakes I had lost all things I consider tem rubbish that may gain Christ. Number 3 dedicate time for your values 1 John 2: 16 says For everything that is in the world-the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance-is not from the Father but is from the world.

Value what God Values.

What do non-Christians value: non-Christians value their own value, what others say, and goals oriented. Now what do Christians value: Christians value God’s value, what God says, and God oriented.

God created every one of us for a reason and a purpose. Maybe you don’t know what it is right now but God will show you’re when he is ready. In Ephesians 2:10 says, for we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Why did God make me? Number 1 is to know and to love him in Matthew 27: 37 through 38 Jesus replied Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind. This is the first and greatest command. Number 2 is to become like Jesus in Romans 8:29 says for those God for knew he as predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son that he might be the first born among many brothers. Number 3 is to help others in 1 Peter 4;10 states each one should use whatever gifts he has received to serve others faithfully administering Gods grace in it various forms. Number 4 to tell others about him in Acts 20:24 says however I consider my life worth nothing to me if only I may finish the race and complete the task at hand Jesus has given me the task to of testifying the Gospel of Gods grace.

Think about it

How am I going to live?

Who am I going to be?

What am I going to do?

What am I living for?

Take the time to think about these question. The choice is your.
