Day 4 of Finding Your Purpose: Made To Last Forever

“This life is not all there is.” Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

If you’ve accepted the realization that this life is not all there is, then you know you must give up your ego. This is what your ego doesn’t want you to know. In order to have a successful purpose driven life, you must have a servant’s heart which requires you to give up your ego. Keeping your ego in check and leading your life with a servant’s heart will prepare you for what is to come later. Day 4 in Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren is essentially about living this life in preparation for eternity. Who do you believe yourself to be forever? What are you doing to be that person? Are you finding your purpose and fulfilling it?

“Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye, but the consequences of it will last forever.” Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

Finding your purpose will ensure that your time on earth is used well.

Thinking About My Purpose
Point to Ponder: There is more to life than just here and now.

Verse to Remember: “This world is fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you do the will of God, you will live forever.” 1 John 2:17 (NLT)

Question to Consider: Since I was made to last forever, what is the one thing I should stop doing and the one thing I should start doing today?


I’ve actually pondered the point in the first paragraph of this finding your purpose blog post. :D Since I was made to last forever one thing I should stop doing is feeding my body and spirit crap. Since I am to prepare for forever I have to learn how to treat not only my body with respect, but also my spirit. What are you feeding your spirit? Fear? Joy? Faith? Hope? Anything? The one thing I should start doing today is consistently everyday speak and think positivity and life. Well what do you mean? There is a lot of power in your words and thoughts. It is extremely important to guard your thoughts and watch what you say.

These thoughts and words can be the creation or hindrance in finding your purpose and successfully obtaining your heart’s desires.
