i was praying last week and this phrase, "living on purpose" kept running through my head. i didn't think much of it at first, but as i thought about it more, the two-fold meaning of that phrase really struck me. in one sense, we can understand purpose in terms of what we were meant to do and so we continually try to find meaning in life in things like our careers, making money, being a parent, developing meaningful relationships, etc. but doing something "on purpose" also speaks of doing whatever we do with intentionality.
so it struck me, that perhaps this idea of "living on purpose" is not just about finding meaning in life through the things we do... and it's not just about doing whatever we do with intentionality. but perhaps it is about understanding who God has created us to be and the purpose that he has for our lives and then living very intentionally to fulfill that plan in everything we do.
just a thought...
