Connect to purpose
+++++++++++++++++++
Having a purpose in life is a lot of work. It is also an absolute necessity.
It is tempting to run from, hide from or avoid purpose, because real purpose brings with it the possibility for discomfort, disappointment and even tragedy. Yet the far greater tragedy is a life with no purpose at all.
Life without purpose is misery, even if you are surrounded with every material comfort and pleasure imaginable. Life with purpose is sweet and fulfilling, even when there is much difficulty and challenge.
Where there is purpose, there is energy. Actions directed toward a compelling purpose will create a powerful momentum that lines up events and circumstances in your favor.
Purpose gives you a reason to get going each day and strengthens your determination to persist when the going gets tough. Purpose pushes you firmly toward your highest level of accomplishment.
Connect, and continually re-connect yourself with a meaningful purpose. And that purpose will connect you with the best of life’s treasures.

Matthew 12:14-21
“But the Pharisees went out, and counseled together against Him (against Jesus), how they might destroy Him.”
“But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed Him, and He healed them all, and warned them not to make Him known, in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying:
“Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen; My Beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased; I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles.”
“He will not quarrel, nor cry out; nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. A battered reed He will not break off, and a smoldering wick He will not put out, until He leads justice to victory. And in His name the Gentiles will hope.” Matthew 12:14-21 (NAS)
Samuel 22:47-49
“The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock; and exalted be God, the rock of my salvation, The God who executes vengeance for me, and brings down peoples under me, Who also brings me out from my enemies; Thou dost even lift me above those who rise up against me; Thou dost rescue me from the violent man.” Samuel 22:47-49 (NAS)
