Ch. 7 – The Reason For Everything
The ultimate goal of the universe is to show the glory of God. It is the reason for everything that exists, including you.
God made it all for his glory. Without God’s glory, there would be nothing.
Living for God’s glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.

Ch. 6 – Life is a Temporary Assignment.
To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won’t be here long, so don’t get too attached. Ask God to help you see life on earth as he sees it.

Hey! I hope you are familiar with Rick Warren’s A Purpose-Driven Life.
It was such an inspirational book for so many people, Christians and more, that more than 30 million copies have been sold worldwide. I first saw it as a dusty hard copy in my mother’s altar (aka the top of our large shoe rack near the bedrooms) and the reader in me took it for some reading! Hah! I was only in high school then, a Catholic who hated going to Mass and the teachings kind off just bounced off my head. I tried reading it again when I had work in the Philippines, but to give up after reaching Chapter 30 (of 40 total) because I felt I am not ready to undertake its teachings. I was not ready.
But God knew what to do. In 2013, He sent me far away from comfort. A new country, a new work, a new place to call “home.” New everything. I believed I got the most depressed in this desert, so close to the land birth of my savior. And in a dream he showed me what would happen if I embark on a journey with Jesus. In 2014, I started attending Singles For Christ’s Christian Life Program. Now, I am in active service to this lay Catholic community.
In a way, I kind of by-passed the discovery of God and Jesus, but now I am ready to be reminded again. Please join me as I read this chapter by chapter, with a link to the Office Sway presentation of my summary for some easy-on-the-eyes reading.
I have already read 6 chapters today, and I will post the links for the first 5 here. For succeeding entries, I will provide one link per chapter. Come, let’s go!
