Me: Is your friend happy?

Prodigal: I think so?

Me: Sometimes we need direction.

This is from the book Paul: A Man of Grace and Grit by Charles Swindoll

I’m convinced there are at least three essentials for a fulfilling life: a clear sense of personal identity, a strong sense of mission, and a deep sense of purpose.

Over the years, I’ve observed that people who know who they are, who possess a clear sense of their mission, and who understand God’s plan and purpose for their lives, are people who experience genuine fulfillment. That doesn’t mean they don’t face extreme obstacles. Rather, it means they have learned to face those challenges in ways that transform obstacles into opportunities. Rather than stumbling over them, they press on through them.

Some days have surprises. The Lord gives surprises and so does the enemy but remember the Lord’s surprises are filled with blessings!

Psalm 37:4

Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
