Reaching Your World with Luis Palau

A New Purpose


Listen Later

​When I was a boy, growing up in Argentina, I wanted to be a lawyer. My dream was to study at Cambridge, become a lawyer, and support my family. I was well on my way to that dream when I began to feel God pulling me in another direction… instead of going into law, or business, or finance—as I had once dreamed, I felt God urging me to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible everywhere. The thing was, there was no clear-cut career path for me to follow. I was nervous at times, because it seemed like a huge task. Who was I, a teenager from Argentina, to share the Good News around the world?
I decided to trust God, as He continued to reveal His plan for my life. My heart was filled with a new purpose. Suddenly, I was less concerned about money, or prestige; instead, the only thing I began to care about was telling everyone what God had done in my life. The Bible says in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Maybe you’re able to travel as a missionary, or perhaps you work a 9 to 5 desk job. Whatever the circumstances are, I pray that your faith in God gives you a new purpose for what you’re doing. Don’t spend all of your years working for the buck; instead, consider how you might spread the Good News to your coworkers, neighbors, friends, and family. That makes life worth living.This is Luis Palau.
