Books like Daily Inspiration for the Purpose Driven Life: Scriptures and Reflections from the 40 Days of Purpose

I followed Rick Warren's instructions and read one chapter per day to savor all the learnings and messages in this book. A lot of them confirmed the beliefs that I already have on the reason why we are here in this world and why some things do not go according to our plan. "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."Still, there were a lot more new insights that I learned which deepened my faith in God and His purpose for my life. Anytime you feel you are not learning anything from a sermon or a Bible teacher, you should check your attitude, especially for pride, because God can speak through even the most boring teacher when you are humble and receptive.This passage struck me because I often felt sad about not seeming to learn anything from a sermon because the priest was too boring. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven. At the end of your life on earth you will stand before God, and he is going to evaluate how well you served others with your life.If you want to keep growing, the best way to learn more is to pass on what you have already learned. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped. Anyone who knows the right thing to do but does not do it is sinning. Knowledge increases responsibility. But passing along the purpose of life is more than obligation; it's one of life's greatest privileges.Some people sometimes mock me for reading and posting about such spiritual things and even relating it with the holy use of money. These are the people whom I need to reach out to. I pray that they, too, will realize that their purpose here is not to serve their own self-interest but to serve God by serving others.
