“For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see - such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.” - Colossians 1:16 (NLT)
Hi Lightgliders!
Purpose is one of the five core values of a Lightglider. To live with purpose means to live with the belief that your life matters. As Lightgliders, we believe that our lives are both valuable and meaningful. But how do we know this is true? It comes from the truth that God made us in His image. As we learned last week, God created us in His image, so our lives have worth and dignity that no one can take away. If the Creator of the universe took time to create you, then guess what–you are here for a reason! To live with purpose means to live every day with this strong belief.
In Lightglider Academy, we rescue Gliddles, clear the blight, and try to help others any way we can. Look around you. The world is in need and you were uniquely created to make a difference! Each day provides us a new opportunity to live an adventure filled with purpose!
Glide On!
