the picture is taken on the Oregon Coast, where I went with my family, my cousin Mike and my aunt, and Brinja. It was beautiful sunset and I just wanted you to appreciate God's beauty before you read my blog.
My greatest fear I've always said was the fear of failure. I can't imagine failing a test, or even medical school. However, the sermon I heard yesterday at the LLU church was about the best thing you can do for your life and the speaker was Randy Roberts. He quoted Francis Chen, and this quote struck home with me, and it might with you also. It is this "The greatest fear ought not to be failure, but the fear of success that does not matter."-Francis Chen.
Again, the greatest fear ought not to be failure, but the fear of success THAT DOES NOT MATTER!"
wow, too many times i'm afraid of failing to be successful at the things that does not matter. The best thing you can do for yourself is to know your purpose. This was the topic RAndy Roberts spoke about yesterday and I 100% agree with him. This is assuming of course that you have taken Jesus as your Saviour and have already decided to start a continual, growing relationship with Him. But back to knowing your purpose, when you know your purpose, remember it, and live it, all you have to be is what He made you to be.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." -Jeremiah 29:11-13
Isn't that an awesome promise? God has plans for you and I. Like me, if you constantly ask yourself the question, "What is my purpose in life?" I believe God has the answer, seek Him first, with all your heart, and He will surely reveal your plans of great hope and a future.
