Purpose of this journal
God has been dealing with me for a long time on keeping a journal on the experiences I go through and the lessons I learned. I finally started the journal after I read the book "The Purpose Driven Life" for the second time. I read the book the first time a little more than a year ago before I was born again spirit-filled, and before God showed me his purpose for my life.
The book really convicted and encouraged me to quit procrasinating on starting a spiritual journal by these statements:
Sharing your testimony is an essential part of your mission on earth because it is unique. There is no other story just like yours.
It's easy to get distacted, b/c Satan would rather have you do anything besides sharing your faith.
God has given you a Life Message to share. You only have a short time to share your life message and fulfill your mission.
If you fail to fulfill your God given mission on earth, you will have wasted the life God gave you.
You owe it to furure generations to perserve the testimony of how God helped you fulfill his purposes on earth.
The more you know, the more God expects you to use that knowledge to help others.
God holds you responsible for the unbelievers who live around you.
Shared stories build a relational bridge that Jesus can walk across from your heart to others.
If you don't share your story, it will be lost forever.
Personal testmonies are easier to relate to and they bypass intellectual defenses.
Is anyone going to heaven because of you? The eternal salvation of a single soul is more important than anything else you will ever achieve in life. Only people are going to last forever.
While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others."to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you." -1 Peter 2:9
Your life is a journey, and a journey deserves a journal.
Writing helps clarify what God is doing in your life.
The truth is, whatever you can't talk abut is already out of control in your life.
Hiding your heart only intensifies it.
You are only as sick as your secrets.
Take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect, and walk in freedom.
