Our wants must match our purpose!

"When we want to be something other than the thing God wants us to be, we must be wanting what, in fact, will not make us happy." CS Lewis.

Do you want that which does not match what your purpose is? I know I do and I have, I also know that each time that's happened I get sick about it to my core. Our wants must match our purpose, if not there will be little or no self fulfillment. We can only lead "full" lives when we find our true purpose and take steps every moment, everyday to meet that purpose.

Do the things you want take you closer to or further away from your goals, dreams and purpose? Do they bring you true joy and fulfulment? Most importantly are your wants pleasing to God who delights in us living out our true purpose to glorify Him and His kingdom!

Stay true to that which leads you to please God, and not man. This world has a way of getting us to chase that which does not provide lasting joy or peace. We rationalize the things we say and do to the point that the truth is tough to distinguish. Make sure that what you say, do and want gets you the outcome for your life and the life God wants for you. Love and peace!
