On Purpose

I'm wondering today about what it means to live intentionally. I think so much of how I live my life is the result of me just stumbling into things. I very rarely go out of my way to do something on purpose. I just kind of go through my life, doing the things I'm supposed to do and waiting for everything to work out.

I'm beginning to think this is not how Jesus did life.

The gospels are full of references to Jesus doing things on purpose.

Luke 9:51, "As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem."
John 4:4, "Now he had to go through Samaria."

There are lots more examples. I don't think that I am as aware as Jesus was of my purpose on earth. But I do think I have a divine calling. So I wonder why it is that I just let my life happen to me. Why do I not resolutely set out? Why don't I have anywhere I have to go?

Why do I let myself off the hook?

Should I not love people, love God, and love myself on purpose?
