Verse to remember “everything got started in him and finds its purpose In him” Colossians 1:16
Question: in spite of all the advertising around me how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself

Book- The purpose driven life Author- Rick Warren
Something that stood out to me in this chapter was when the author quoted “life is about letting God use you for his purposes, not your using him for your own purposes”. This really stood out to me because it put my head in a different head space. I think a lot of times I focus too much on myself healing, when being a Christian isn’t all about yourself. It’s about 1st knowing who God is and sacrificing yourself. It’s the total opposite of self love. God created us 1st so of course he knows us before we even know ourselves and that includes him knowing our purpose in life. God is the creator so without him it only makes sense for there to be no purpose in life. So I can remind myself to live for God and not myself by simply remembering that he is the creator he was there in the beginning when I live for God instead of myself I find more joy and peace. Every time I have been focused on myself instead of God it has always left me with questions and me deciding my own purpose. Which puts a lot of stress and anxiety on my back. So it’s better for me to live for God instead of myself because he is my guide. He takes the anxiety and stress away if I allow him to.
