Inside Out

We have a tendency to live our lives from the outside in. We let the people around us, the society around us, and many other influences around us shape us and mold us until we begin to look a little bit more like everyone else.

But that’s not the way life is supposed to be. It is not the way God designed us to live. In fact, God has designed each of us to fulfill a unique purpose in this world and in his Kingdom, and as long as we let the world around us shape us into it’s idea of us we will not be able to live out the life we were designed to live.

What we need to do is to get out of the pattern of living from the outside in, and start living from the inside out.

When you get the inside right, it changes everything.

Resources
