Jesus said, “I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). Our world tries to force us into busy schedules, endless to-do lists, and expectations that don’t fit who we are. But simply having a full life and experiencing life to the full are two very different things. That’s why this journey we’ve taken together matters so much. A purposeful existence never happens on accident. We must choose it every single day.
—You’re Already Amazing LifeGrowth Guide, Session Six
As a runner I’ve learned this: The hardest step is not the one across the finish line; it’s simply the next one. It’s often when we’ve made some progress and we’re about to hit our stride that we suddenly want to stop and eat a hot fudge sundae. Those are the most critical moments and to push through them we have to remember why we’re running in the first place.
That’s what the You’re Already Amazing LifeGrowth Guide Book Club has been all about. It’s about discovering your strengths, skills and who you’re called to serve. It’s about understanding where you are now and where God wants to take you. It’s about putting into words your life purpose so you can be affirmed and empowered.
I want you to finish strong. I want you to finish well. I want you to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.” But for now as we wrap up I simply want you to take the next step.
If you want to review the posts you can find all of them here. And if you’re just joining in, you can still go through all we’ve covered at your own pace. You can also use the book club content with a group if you’d like to host one.
Discussion: What has God shown you during our time together? How will you share it with others? {Subscribers, click here to come to the blog post so you can leave a comment.}
