This document discusses how to live a great life and make a difference. It emphasizes that a great life is not without mistakes, challenges, or fears, but that God gives us life to enjoy and use our purpose and potential. It warns against letting life become meaningless and advises appreciating each day, acknowledging God's goodness, stepping out in faith like Peter, and using laughter as medicine for a cheerful heart. The overall message is that God gives us time on earth to fulfill our purpose and bring light to others.

1. Great Life
There is a life waiting for you

2. A Great Life is not a life
without mistakes!

3. A Great Life is not a life
without challenges!

4. A Great Life is not a life
without fears to conquer!

5. A Great Life is the life that God gave
you to enjoy. Additionally, everyday
He wants you to use the great
purpose and potential that are within
you in a great way, no matter what
you are going through.

6. In short:
Enjoy your life today
and make a difference everyday!

7. Life is meaningless only if we allow it
to be. Each of us has the power to
give life meaning, to make our time
and our bodies and our words into
instruments of love and hope.

8. Turn to John 1:4

9. John 1:4
4.
In him (Jesus) was life,
and the life was the light of
men.

10. The way in which you live
your life will either bring light
or darkness to your purpose,
families, friends and the
world.

11. The thief, otherwise known as
the enemy, comes to steal, kill
and destroy your life in order to
keep God’s light away from your
purpose, families, friends and
the world!

12. John 10:9,10 English Standard Version
9.
I (Jesus) am the door. If anyone enters
by me, he will be saved and will go in
and out and find pasture. 10.
The thief
comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have life and have
it abundantly.

13. Life consists of entering and
exiting. We enter into the earth
through the womb of our mothers
and exit into the womb of the
ground. From elementary school to
middle school, high school to
college…from being single to being
married.

14. When we leave life on earth, we will
either enter into eternal life or eternal
damnation. Jesus is the gatekeeper and
once we accept Him, He leads us
through every door of life including
eternal life. However, although He died in
order for us to have eternal life, He
cannot chose it for us. This is a choice
that only we can make.

15. What strategies does the
thief use to steal, kill and
destroy our lives?

16. • Comparison
The thief convinces us to
compare our life (children,
spouses, houses, careers,
etc.) with others.

17. • Listening
The thief convinces us to listen
to wrong, negative voices.

18. • Fantasy
The thief convinces us to live
a fantasy-filled life rather than
a faith-filled life. Fantasy takes
the fight out of you, but faith
gives you the fight to win.

19. 1 Timothy 6:12
12. Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life, to which
you were also called and have
confessed the good confession in
the presence of many witnesses.

20. What can we do in order
to not only experience a
Great Life, but to do great
things as well?

21. • Appreciate
On a daily basis appreciate what
God has done in your past, what He
is currently doing in your present in
spite of where you may be in life,
and for His faithfulness for your
future.

22. • Acknowledge
Acknowledge God’s goodness and
faithfulness in everything you do and
make Him a part of your entire life.
Since Jesus lived on the earth He
can identify with your struggles.

23. Proverbs 3:6
6. In all your ways
acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct your paths.

24. • Step Out of Your Boat
Even if no one else in the boat wants
to step out on faith in order to
experience life, you must step out
with Jesus in order to experience
greatness!

25. Matthew 14:29
29.
So He (Jesus) said, “Come.”
And when Peter had come
down out of the boat, he walked
on the water to go to Jesus.

26. • Laugh
God gave us the medicine of
Laughter! It is free so just use it!

27. Proverbs 17:22
The Living Bible Translation
22. A cheerful heart is good
medicine, but a broken spirit
saps a person’s strength.

28. Remember, God gave you time on
this earth to enjoy your families,
friends, co-workers and the world.
Fulfill your God-given purpose and
use all of your potential while you
are alive.

29. To the world you may only be
one person, but to one person
you may be the world.
