Purpose Driven Life Responses - Westhill

What have I learnt?

1. “to put God first in everything I do. That I am in training for eternity. That temptations are sanctioned by God.”

2. “Not to let the busyness control our lives.”





3. When God seems far off, there is nothing wrong with me. It’s a normal part of testing and maturity.

4. “That God can give you the resources you need at the time you need it.”

5. “My need is to focus on Jesus.”

6. “I learnt how to deal with temptation.”

7. “We are very specific tools only fulfilling our purpose when we are doing God’s work.”
