‘If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God.’- Rick Warren

God knows you better than you know yourself. He knows why you are here on this planet. He knows where you are going, what you are going to do to get there.

‘Being controlled by the opinions of others is a quranteed way to miss God’s purposes for your life.’- Rick Warren

But you must follow God. You must listen to God. And you must ask God for help.

According to Rick Warren, ‘The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it.’

That is, ‘To discover your pupose in life you must turn to God’s Word, not the word’s wisdom. You must build your life on eternal truths, not pop psychology, success-motivation, or inspirational stories.’

More quotes on finding your purpose in your life:

‘Nothing matters more than knowing God’s purposes for your life, and nothing can compensate for not knowing them- not success, wealth, fame, or pleasure.’- Rick Warren

‘Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason.’– Rick Warren

‘Without a clear purpose you have no foundation on which you base decisions, allocate your time, and use your resources. You will tend to make choices based on circumstances, pressures, and your mood at that moment. People who don’t know their purpose try to do too much- and that causes stress, fatigue, and conflict.’- Rick Warren

‘How Do You Listen To God?’

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

If you want to hear from God, you must listen to Him.

If you do not know how to listen to God, you are not going to hear from Him.

Listen to God. Whatever you are going through in your life, do not go through it alone.

God is everywhere. God is with you. The question is, ‘How do you listen to God?’

According to Craig Groeschel, ‘God speaks through people, offering divine wisdom from heaven. And he can speaks directly to you through His Spirit. When you belong to Him, spend time with Him, and quiet yourself before Him, you will learn to recognize his voice.’

‘When you belong to God, when you spend time with God, you will hear from God.’

Are you listening to God? Look, if you do not listen to God, you are not going to hear from Him.

When you listen to God, when you are willing to learn from God, when you are willing to be yourself, God will never abandon you.

‘When hard things happen, we often see more clearly what means the most to us.’

If we really want to hear from God, ‘spending time alone with God should be at the top of our list, even if the conversation with him will be a difficult one.’
