PURPOSE
If you have a sense of purpose for your life, it gives you energy and momentum to pursue and fulfill your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CALLED
If you have a calling that only you can answer and accomplish something that will make a difference, it will keep you going with clear focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LOVE
If you love what you do, you will stick with it and get it done with passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GOOD
If you know you are doing something good, especially if it does others good, you will do it well, and you will feel good about yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ALL WORKS OUT
If you believe and say that everything always works out and it always will, you will always maintain optimism and momentum in your work and in yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm ?
Can this power of positive thinking indeed carry us through ALL of life ?
Can this power of positive thinking indeed carry us through the END of life—with guarantees in that unknown ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All these wonderful things that people say, that anybody can say—all this is wishful thinking without eternal, divine, personal, promised, words from the Almighty, All-Loving God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What a difference He makes with
PURPOSE
His purpose is far better, far greater than what I can dream up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CALLED
If He called me to His mission for my life, I will respond to that call, and know that I am in the center of His will NO MATTER WHAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LOVE
God loves me, and I love Him—He gave His Son Jesus to die for me, and I accept His offer—He has everything else covered too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GOOD
God is good—He’s so good to me—He promised, even when I have no feeling, no sight, no indicators to show it happening right now—I know He is with me !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ALL WORKS OUT “And we know<\/span> that all things work together<\/span> for good<\/span> to those who love God<\/span>, to those who are called<\/span> according to HIS purpose<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n P. S. – God and His promises are not an addendum to my life and my plans. PURPOSEIf you have a sense of purpose for your life, it gives you energy and momentum to pursue and fulfill your goals.

All—the good, and the bad, and the ugly—work TOGETHER<\/span> because God does it, for my good.
How do I know that ?
I Know<\/span>—Because He Promised ! ! !<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is Lord and center of everything—without Him I can do nothing.
