God's top priority for you is more about chasing holiness than pursuing happiness!!
God desires you to turn the focus from the way you feel to what you should do. Too often, people abandon good work that pleases God - a marriage, a career, a ministry - because they don't feel like doing it anymore. They don't feel like they are in love. They don't feel fulfilled. They don't feel like they are making a difference.
If you tend to act hastily based on the way you feel, it may be time to examine the ways your emotions influence your decision-making. Ask God to arrange your actions today according to His will rather than according to your feelings.
CHALLENGE: Pray that God will give you strength to carry out His purpose in your life, even if you don't feel like doing the tasks required!
Be purpose-FULL in all you do! Tonia
(From:101 Ways to Find God's Purpose For Your Life by Natalie Gillespie)
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. - Helen Keller
