One life to live (review)

One life to live (review)
“Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” –Psalms 90:12

If you have 1 month to live, will this radically change the way you live your life? Will you live each day as it is our last?

Life is too short to live in mediocrity. Life is too short to live without passion. Time is limited. And if something is limited, we should spend it wisely.

Sometimes we think that if we fill-up our schedule, we will have a full life.  But full schedule doesn’t mean full life. You can have full schedule but still have an empty life. Some people are existing but are not living their lives. They live like zombies, lifeless.

God wants us to maximize our lives, not just to survive each day.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (JESUS) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” - John 10:10


LIVE WITH A PURPOSE

“The LORD has made everything for HIS own purpose.” – Proverbs 16:4

“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of GOD.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people, because we begin at the wrong starting point – ourselves. Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose. We are born BY HIS PURPOSE and FOR HIS PURPOSE. We exist only because it is GOD‘s will that we exist. We are made BY GOD and FOR GOD, and until we understand that, life will never make sense.


LIVE WITH PASSION

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” - Philippians 1:21

Passion comes from knowing to whom we do things for.

You may fulfill the long bucket list you have, but at the end of the day you will go home empty.  Because it is not what you do, it is to whom you do it for – PASSION.

But for me, my passion is nothing but CHRIST.


LIVE WITH WISDOM
(Live wisely)

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.” - Proverbs 3:13-14
A little wisdom is better than a lot of wealth.

Wisdom is discovered and enjoyed only by those who are diligent, devoted, and determined to seek it.

Know Jesus and you will know what wisdom is.


LIVE BY FAITH

“Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” - Hebrews 11:6

Finding God is a matter of faith, confidence in HIM, and commitment to HIM.

This confidence and commitment should remain strong even though the object of our faith is unseen.



God designed life to be great... He wants us to live to the fullest.

May God remind us of how brief life really is.  God bless!
