Finding Your Purpose

Finding Your Purpose

"Meaningless is like a black hole at the center of human existence that sucks up whatever we throw at it, empty as it was before.” John Fischer

It makes a big difference where you go for the answers to the meaning of the purpose of life. Our culture will assault you with the world’s point of view of purpose: to be pretty, wealthy, happy, to have the best job, house, car, family, vacations…it is all about you!

Finding your purpose in God, his call on your life, is a different journey, one that won’t leave you feeling empty, unfulfilled, lost.

1)    Ask yourself what am I passionate about? God delights in giving us the desires of heart.
2)    Pursue your passions with all your heart. Don’t accept mediocrity.
3)    Keep your perspective that God has a plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11)
4)    Do not be afraid to fail. Failure is not a bad thing- not even trying kills the soul.
5)    Always remember and truly believe that you are a masterpiece, created in God’s image, to fulfill a unique purpose, which nobody else can accomplish but YOU! (Ephesians 2:10)

 “I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I don’t know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, “How many good 
things have you done in your life? Rather he will ask, How much love did you  put into what you did?” Mother Theresa

I pray that you search after God and his call on your life with all your heart, that you not be discouraged but be filled with joyful anticipation of the destiny God has planned for you.
