It’s about a life that’s worth living, understanding that we play a bigger part of the world.

I’m reading this book and it has been the most inspiring book I’ve read. Rick Warren talks about how to live a life with purpose, and passion. I’m finding that I want more of God in me.

The first section of the book talks about how I was created in God’s image. Understanding that it’s not about me but about God is the foundation. Living for the King and not for others.

I really like the section about temporary living and how we are ambassadors to this earth.

Imagine if you were asked by your country to be an ambassador to an enemy nation. You would probably have to learn a new language and adapt to some customs and cultural differences in order to be polite and to accomplish your mission. As an ambassador you would not be able to isolate yourself from the enemy. To fulfill your mission, you would have to contact and relate to them.

But suppose you became so comfortable with this foreign country that you fell in love with it, preferring it to your homeland. Your loyalty and commitment would change. Your role as an ambassador would be compromised. Instead of representing your home country, you would start acting like the enemy. You’d be a traitor.

I find myself more like a traitor than an ambassador.

I want to relate to students better. Lord, show me and teach me how to do that.
