LIFE'S PURPOSE ........... DAY TWENTY TWO

THINKING  ABOUT  MY  PURPOSE                                     DAY  TWENTY  EIGHT           YOU  WERE   CREATED  TO  BECOME  LIKE  CHRIST    " LET YOUR ROOTS GROW DOWN INTO CHRIST AND DRAW UP NOURISHMENT FROM HIM. SEE THAT YOU GO ON GROWING IN THE LORD, AND BECOME STRONG AND VIGOROUS IN THE TRUTH."  COL.2:7 (LB)    GOD'S ULTIMATE GOAL FOR YOUR LIFE ON EARTH IS NOT COMFORT BUT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.    YOUR CHARACTER IS ESSENTIALLY THE SUM OF YOUR HABITS.     "GOD KNEW WHAT HE WAS  DOING FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. HE DECIDED FROM THE OUTSET TO SHAPE THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM ALONG THE SAME LINES AS THE LIFE OF HIS SON ........ WE SEE THE ORIGINAL AND INTENDED SHAPE OF OUR LIVES THERE IN HIM." ROM 8:29 (MSG)    "AS THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WORKS WITHIN US, WE BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM AND REFLECT HIS GLORY EVER MORE." 2COR 3:18(b) (NLT)    "DONT BECOME SO WELL ADJUSTED TO YOUR CULTURE THAT YOU FIT INTO IT WITHOUT EVEN THINKING.  INSTEAD FIX YOUR ATTENTION ON GOD. YOU'LL BE CHANGED FROM THE INSIDE OUT....UNLIKE THE CULTURE AROUND YOU, ALWAYS DRAGGING YOU DOWN TO ITS LEVEL OF IMMATURITY, GOD BRINGS THE BEST OUT OF YOU, DEVELOPS WELL-FORMED MATURITY IN YOU." ROM 12:2 (MSG)     IN WHAT AREA OF MY LIFE DO I NEED TO ASK FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER TO BE LIKE CHRIST TODAY ?
