LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

"We are been transformed into Christ's image, from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of God"(2Cor.3:18).

Rick Warren wrote a book titled the purpose driven life. Its phenomenal appeal reminds us that believers and unbelievers alike have a deep longing for a clear sense of purpose. We all want to know that our lives are involved in something worthwhile. Without a strong sense of calling and purpose, life is nothing more than  routine busyness.
Being a follows of Jesus gives us a distinct advantage when it comes to having a sense of purpose. The Westminster catechism sums it up pretty well when it says "chief end of man" is to "glorify God and enjoy Him for ever".
Glorifying God means putting His character, His will and His ways into action in all that we do. The Apostle Paul reminded us that we 'are been transformed into Christ's image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord'.(2Cor.3:18). The purpose of our lives is to let others see what God is like as they watch and experience His love through us.
What a profound privilege it is to mirror
God's love, mercy, grace justice, and righteousness to a world whose heart is veiled to God's truth(4:3-4). Our purpose is to show others less of us and more of Him. that's living on purpose with  purpose. Go and do that today.

PRAYER POINT

father, make me an instrument of your love today, so that the world will watch and experience your love through me in Jesus name
