“Thinking about My Purpose POINT TO PONDER: Happiness is my choice. I don’t need anyone’s approval to be happy. VERSE TO REMEMBER: “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.” PSALM 27:10 (NLT) QUESTION TO CONSIDER: Whose opinion matters most to me? Whose approval am I living for?”

Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and money”14 and “Wherever your treasure is, your heart will be also.”

It wasn’t in spite of his greatness that he did these things, but because of it, and he expects us to follow his example.”
