The Purpose Driven Life

Book Summary by: sushisarah10    

Original Author: Rick Warren
This book is to guide you for forty days to let you know what is the meaning of your life and how to bring you to the eternity.
There are three hundred sixty five days in a year, and twenty four hours a day, how long have you spent for God? This book guides you only for forty days, read one chapter per day, and know what God wants in your life.
In the chapter, you will be guided to know that the universe and all around us, are not about us at all. Everything is about God. He created all, for Him and also from Him. Know that all your problem is not about you, but it is about God. There is nothing in this world is not about God. We are so small, so empty, so nothing, so it is not about us.
Jesus was empowered by forty days in the wilderness. The disciples were transformed after forty days with Jesus after the resurrection. There are many 'forty days' in the Bible. Including, David was transformed by Goliath in the forty days of challenge.
Read chapter two 'I am not an accident.' God plans us for His unique plan. There is no happenstance. Everything happens in the guard of our God. We are born by God's purpose.
It is not about your career, your life, or whatever you have. It is just about God, and how to focus on Him, not on ourselves. Focus on what is God's priority, and not to your priority in life. God's priority has a glorious intention, our priority is just ego. God created you to be something in His hand which He can use. Not to be something which can think or do whatever we likes. God wants us to love Him, to be His children, even to reign with Him in the new town of Jerusalem. God wants our nature is similar with His. He wants us not to personalize ourselves, but to obey Him. He wants us to have an abundant life on earth, and not to live recklessly. He wants us to stay focus on Him, till His coming.
Purposes of our lives are in the Bible. We asked God, and He answered. His answer is located in the Bible. God sisn't leave us alone without hope. Our Bible is our hope. It is written inside about God's promise. And we have to be patient in waiting for His promise to surface.
God has His eyes on us. We are His delight. He wanted to let us know that we are alive for His purpose for eternal life. We had been designed in His hand, and He had pointed the way for us to go to His purpose.
