HAt DOeS It mean to have a purpose? It means that we have a goal, a target, an aim, an end point that we hope to get to eventually. Having a purpose defines what we do, how we do it, when we do it and why we do it. Purpose is defined by Wordweb as “The quality of being determined to do or achieve something.” Purpose gives us a reason to live each day, something to work for and a result to look forward to. What have you purposed in your heart to achieve for the sake of Christ? to be an example in conduct, neatness, punctuality, hardwork, politeness…you can be it with the help of the Jesus Christ, who is your perfect example and the Holy Spirit who empowers you to live like Christ lived. Purpose in your heart to do something that would set you apart as a child of God, as Daniel did. Don’t give up if you happen to fail at first attempt, rise up and keep trying till you achieve your godly aim. Don’t take your eyes off your target. run with determination the race that is set before you. Prayer - dear god, today i have purposed in my heart to _______________________________ . Lord, i know i cannot do it by my own strength. i humbly ask that you guide me to reach this target. When i fall, grant me the grace to rise again and to run the race with renewed strength.
