"For everything, absolutely everything, below, visible and invisible,... everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him." Colossians 1:16
The purpose of life is far grater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness.  It's far greater than your family, your career, or ever your wildest dreams and ambitions.  You are born BY his purpose and FOR his purpose.  You are made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. 
Day One - Thinking about my purpose
Points to Ponder: It's not about me
Verse to Remember: "Everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him." Colossians 1:16b
Question to Consider: In spite of all the advertising around you, how can you remind yourself that life is really about living for God, not yourself?
