I got to spend some time talking with a friend last week, and she mentioned briefly that some people hold the belief that God doesn’t want to make us happy, He wants to make us holy. My friend believes scripture supports the idea that God wants us happy, and so do I. But that statement got my wheels ‘a turnin.’

Is our purpose to be holy, or is being holy the fruit of fulfilling our purpose?

What IS our purpose?

And as we try to be holy, what happens if we have the wrong motive?

Have you ever served with all your heart but still felt lean in your soul or relationship with God?

I pray this episode can help bring some clarity on why that might be and how to fix it.

In my Diving Deep Bible Study, I talk about the subject of motive extensively because a correct motive is vital to our Christian lives.It is the difference between bondage and freedom, and is the key to having a best-friend relationship with God.
