Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale Christmas Service 2013 at the BB&T Center.

Tonight was the Christmas service for my church. It was held at the BB&T center (aka. Panther Stadium). The place was packed (oddly more packed than when the Panther’s have a game). During praise and worship, I had to pause and just take in the beautiful sound of thousands (yes I said thousands) of voices all singing in harmony all praising and thanking God. I had this thought, “Heaven will be just like this.” All of us praising in one accord. Today just a reminder that we are created for purpose. That is to glorify God. Many of us have found the freedom and joy that comes from living our true purpose. Some of us are still searching, wondering why we have it all, but still feel empty. Tonight as I joined in the chorus, I felt joy, peace, and filled. I pray this Christmas we all find and accept our purpose.  

“Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind” (Philippians 2:2).

So what am I thankful for today? Living my purpose.
