Purpose

How can we live without purpose?
How can we proceed without an intended destination?
How can we run without a finish line?
Why would we run if there wasn't a prize? We wouldn't!

Since there IS a prize at the end of our lives, if we are living for Jesus, we better be running for it!
As Paul says, I do not beat the air, or run aimlessly. The point he is trying to make is that we must live with purpose!
We must live FOR JESUS.
What does this look like?
Our hearts must beat for what is dear to His heart.
Our hearts must break for what breaks His heart.
We must live for Him, no matter the cost to our wallet, our ego, or our adjenda.
We must live for Him no matter the cost.
We must run to Him, run toward the prize without looking back.
We must run with our eyes fixed on Jesus.
And not run, as one running aimlessly.
