THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE

What is the purpose of you life? Do you know or think you know? Do you feel it changes throughout time? As there are seasons in life...are there seasons in our personal life...such as growing up, studying, finding a career we love, getting married and maybe having children?
Is there one major purpose in our life or are there many? So many questions and maybe not enough answers...

WE ALL WANT TO FEEL THAT OUR LIFE HAS MEANING...A PURPOSE.
And it does...we might not see it now or understand it, but we have a purpose and a promise from God.

PURPOSE
THE LORD WILL FULFILL HIS PURPOSE FOR YOU.
Psalm 138:8

Whether we have one main purpose or many...GOD WILL MAKE SURE WE FULFILL HIS DREAM FOR US...HIS PURPOSE! Which is great! Now we do not have to worry about, what is our purpose, finding it and then trying to figure out how we are going to get it done?

RELY ON GOD...GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO HELP YOU. GOD'S WAYS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST. LET'S FIND OUT WHAT GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE IS...

It is easier than you think. Just TURN TO GOD...AND SAY "HI, I WANT TO KNOW THE PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE. PLEASE GUIDE ME, BE MY FRIEND, HELP ME IN EVERYTHING". Remember HIM throughout your days and keep your heart open to God.

The Lord will fulfill the purpose for your life...but it would be great if you and HIM, did it together. Go to Jesus...HE is so nice and loving. Become devoted to HIM. Deepen your friendship with HIM.
Jesus will respond to you in many ways...and I bet the purpose of your life or purposes, will reveal itself to you...as you grow closer to HIM! God is the best!

FINDING INNER PEACE IN YOUR LIFE

You can not buy peace. If you have a million dollars in the bank or have a great high paying job...it does not come with inner peace. Even our family and friends cannot bestow upon you real inner peace. It can only come from one place...GOD. Inner peace is a gift from above to you. It involves a closeness between you and God. Once you receive it...you will feel different. You will have this calming feeling of joy and contentment in your life. Fear is eliminated and replaced with an inner smile...and a knowing that your life will be OK.

How do you receive it? I can not give it to you nor anyone else on earth. We can not purchase it at a store or receive it at a spa... ONLY GOD CAN GIVE YOU HIS PEACE...JUST FOR THE ASKING! All that you need is a willingness to turn to HIM. Develop or deepen your friendship with HIM by turning to God and being more aware of HIM in your life. Let God in your heart. Unlike some other relationships on earth, HE will not hurt you. As you grow closer to HIM, your perspective changes. When HE gives you his inner peace, you will know it! It has this calming effect upon you...that nobody can harm you and everything will be OK in your life. You will feel HIS love and companionship and it is beyond great! Clarity sets in, wisdom follows and your life becomes more simplistic, yet fuller. Full with all the important things...not shopping, money or an ego driven mind. Love and compassion takes over...and you change, from the inside out.

God's peace is priceless...ask for it, receive it and then enjoy!

NEVER GIVE UP FAITH IN GOD OR YOURSELF

Always believe that God has great plans for your life. Always strive towards your goals, no matter how difficult they may seem. Great dreams take great work...be prepared to work hard to reach them. Keep going even if others do not understand your journey...it is yours, not theirs. Believe in yourself, that you are capable of achieving great successes and then nothing will stand in your way.

Never give up believing that God wants to help you. Although sometimes we may feel stuck in a situation or dead end road...GOD CAN CHANGE OUR LIFE OVERNIGHT. Talk to God about your goals and dreams. HE is waiting for the correct time to put everything into action. So we must prepare ourselves by thinking positive, going for whatever we wish to accomplish and never believe that we are limited in some way. WE ARE NOT LIMITED WITH GOD. He is our partner in life. God sees and knows the desires of your heart.

If you are not sure which direction to take in your life, ask HIM to point you in the right one. Have GOD lead you...HE will.

Hold onto your faith with all your might. Believe that God can...he has the power to do great things. IT WILL HAPPEN! Never give up faith in God or yourself. Together, you both can achieve all your dreams! It is never too late...

TEENAGERS: THE SECRETS TO GROWING UP WISELY

Let me share with you the best advice I know. Being a teenager is fun and exciting as you grow into adulthood. Middle School, High School and College are great times for you to become and blossom into who you are meant to be. There will be times that are challenging with school work, making friends, hanging out with the "right crowd" and choosing the right path.

But you can make WISE DECISIONS, GET THE HELP YOU NEED AND GET THROUGH ANYTHING WITH GOD BY YOUR SIDE. You see, God is really watching and can participate in your life. There are three very important people you may want to rely on for help. Build your relationship with one, two or all three. You pick and decide.

ALMIGHTY FATHER
If you want to talk to a "Father Figure" or "Grandfather Figure"...go to HIM.
He is all wise, loving and powerful. HE will take you under HIS wing and protect you from any harm. HE will help you grow up into the man or woman you are destined to become... Ask Father for advice in any situation and become devoted to HIM. Father is loving and will guide you with everything. Think of HIM as an extra FATHER....BECAUSE HE REALLY IS.

JESUS CHRIST
HE is my best friend. HE is super powerful, cool, has a lot of patience and forgives us for our mistakes. However, HE will not let anyone "bully you around".
Jesus is the MOST POWERFUL NAME IN THE UNIVERSE...just saying "it", makes you stronger and HIS HELP IS ON THE WAY. Jesus can be the best friend you grow up with now...and keep throughout your lifetime. By getting close to Jesus, you will be more confident, make wiser choices and have a really cool powerful friend. HE will help you with everything.

HOLY SPIRIT
Let the Holy Spirit walk with you everywhere, sorta like a guardian angel. Open your heart and mind to the will and love of God...and you will find the HOLY SPIRIT. The Holy Spirit can guide you through everything too. HE is that "little voice" inside of you that talks to you. Always listen to that little voice...for it will always be correct. For example, if you are running out of the house and forget your phone, the "little voice" might say, "Go back and get it". But you think no, I don't need it...I am already running late, so I will just go. Then later on...you realize, "I should have taken my phone. I need it". Now I don't have it. ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP YOU...AND YOU WILL SOMEHOW FIND A PHONE TO BORROW. BUT THE IMPORTANT LESSON IS ALWAYS LISTEN TO THAT INNER VOICE...it will never be wrong.

To have an easier, better life...get close to God. If you are smart you will. Let God guide you. Get rid of worrying, learn to lean on and trust in HIM. There is no problem too big for God to solve! God loves you and will never let you down.

I wish I knew these secrets when I was growing up... but hey, I KNOW IT NOW. Better late than never...

GOD NEVER BREAKS A PROMISE

When God makes a promise to you...it will always come true. Talk with God about something deep in your heart that is very important to you. Sit alone and open your heart, mind and soul to HIM. Tell HIM how you feel and what you would like to happen in your life. It may be about a relationship, your marriage. an illness or a job.

Bless yourself...In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Hold onto a sacred image of JESUS or Rosary Beads if you wish...while you talk...which is really called praying. Then sit quietly and listen for a loving voice in your mind...in the center of your forehead. God may decide to speak directly to you and the thoughts and words you hear...are from HIM. Or, if God chooses, you may have a feeling come over you of peace and a reassuring feeling, that yes, everything will be alright.

Ask God what is in your heart...and if HE responds with a YES...please know that...in HIS time, your prayers will be answered. If God makes a promise to you...HE will never break it.
No matter what the circumstances may look like, GOD has the power to make HIS PROMISE TO YOU COME TRUE. Never give up hope in God...

GOD IS THE ONE PERSON YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON. HE NEVER BREAKS A PROMISE!

THE CLOSER YOU GET TO GOD...THE HAPPIER YOU WILL BE!

Be happy for all the good things in your life now. We do not know what tomorrow may bring, but with GOD...all things can improve and get better. When you turn to God in your life, you will have a greater sense of freedom and excitement. You will become a wiser, better, stronger person and you will no longer live in fear.

You will not have to worry about money and your health, just as two examples. HE will take care of all your needs and whatever medical problems may come your way, know that the best physician, Jesus, stands at your side with HIS healing power.

Jesus wants you to be happy now in your life. Our life is constantly changing, evolving and how we view things today, may change in the future. Think positive always! See the goodness and beauty in your life. Value your family and friends for they are treasures from God. Whatever you really need, GOD WILL PROVIDE! Maybe not in our timetable, but in HIS...and God's timing is always perfect.

God does not want you to focus on the negative in your life. Instead, spend some time focusing on HIM and discuss any hardships you are going through. HE will listen and then watch as you start to feel and see God's work in your life.

THE CLOSER YOU GET TO GOD...THE HAPPIER YOU WILL BE.
NO MATTER WHAT MATERIAL POSSESSIONS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE...
ONE THING IS CERTAIN,
YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INNER JOY, HAPPINESS AND PEACE FROM GOD.

GOD is very generous too! HE has many surprises ahead for you in your life.
Start celebrating the great life you have today...because with God, it will only get better.
