I BELIEVE GOD’S purpose for us is to be all we can be, do all we’re destined to do, and have all we’re destined to have. I believe it’s God’s desire for us to do more than merely survive. In 3 John writes that he hopes his friend will prosper and be in good health as his soul prospers. God wants us to prosper. But what does it mean to prosper? It can mean to have economic success, to thrive, or to become strong and healthy. And I believe with all my heart, mind, and soul that this is God’s will for our lives. My Prayer! Dear Lord, Help me find peace and prosperity in you alone. I pray that my days will be filled with joy and happiness so that I will have the capacity to share that joy and happiness with others. Make me like the tree that has been planted by rivers of water so that no matter what comes my way, I will continue to stand. Amen!
