b'How\\ncan you build a life of purpose? You can seek the answer to this\\nquestion in many places - in self-help books, mentoring programmes,\\nprofessional advice or even new-age philosophies. But have you ever\\nconsidered how Jesus would answer this question for you? As the world\'s\\nmost significant person, He can do what no one else can. He can give\\nyou peace, purpose and power to change.

Imagine for a moment\\nthat you\'re building a house. You hire a building contractor, but he\\nnever consults the blueprints drawn up by your architect (the\\ndesigner). He casually builds without any detailed plan! An unwise move\\n- I\\u2019m sure you will agree.\\xa0 Every good contractor needs to know exactly\\nwhere to lay the foundation, erect the walls, and place the doors and\\nwindows. Only then will the home look the way it was intended. Only\\nthen will it comply to the planning consent given by the local\\nauthority.

The same can be said of your life. How can you try to\\nbuild your life without first consulting the great Architect of life?\\nThe One who predestined you according to the good pleasure of His will (Ephesians 1:5);\\nwho has created you for a wonderful and distinct purpose. The Bible\\nsays, "We know that God causes everything to work together for the good\\nof those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them"\\n(Romans 8:28).
