“Where is the Life we have lost in living?” T.S. Elliot
My daughter Kim walked into my bedroom with a list of 15 components for a satisfied life! Now…who wouldn’t want that inventory? I was really interested in knowing what was on her mind and what was on that list! She was so enthusiastic and I was REALLY curious…
I knew it was NOT going to be money, a big house with a pool, a Lamborghini or fame, beauty, maybe being 10 years younger or 20-pounds lighter! No…this daughter doesn’t roll that way. Sooo…what could those 15 “pieces of life” be?
Let’s take a look:
1. A Divine life
2. A Life with Purpose
3. A Life of Faith
4. A Life of Continuing Surrender
5. A Life of Joyful Obedience
6. A Life of Prayer and Praise
7. A Life filled with the Holy Spirit
8. A Life of Total Dependence
9. A Disciplined Life
10. A Challenging Life
11. An Unshakeable Life anchored in God’s Truth; Resting in God’s Promises; Focused on God’s principles; Strengthened by examples in God’s Word
12. A Fruitful Life Invested in other’s
13. A Rich Life Saturated in God’s Word
14. A Life of Love
15. A Rewarding Life
“Life is so short that the wood of the cradle rubs up tight
against the marble of the tomb!” G.S.
Let’s take a look at our life this week and take caution to focus on
the 15 qualities of this eternal, “extraordinary life”…
These notes Kim shared with me came from a Charles Stanley sermon.
I’m so glad she shared with me…
