EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE 

Ecclesiastes 3:11-13 

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his toil – this is the gift of God.”

Our purpose in life is to revere God and give Him all praise for the things He has done. In the interim, we get to enjoy the simple blessings of family and friends and all the little things they do, which bring us joy and a sense of completeness.

We rest in peace knowing that nothing is as important as having the love of God and having Him point out the specific things in our lives that can make life better and more enjoyable.

Everyone has a special gift that is shared that expresses their love for one another. In those special moments we see this displayed, God creates a sense of wholeness that is completely satisfying, giving us a small glimpse of what heaven might be like. 

All our experiences and every special memory we have is a storybook of the wonders of God and the examples that one can have if they totally submit their lives to God. In obedience, we start to realize that God works all things for the good.

Please don’t give power to your trials. Instead, give glory to God for bringing you through them and giving you the joy of His restoration and grace.

Be happy; God loves you!
