Your purpose is not about chasing the things of the world. Happiness, excitement, or adventures will be nothing without God. You were created to know God, so when you try to live your life without Him, it is empty and aimless. The bottom line is this: the only way you will find your purpose, the only way you will have a meaningful life, is by seeking God first. Then you will know what He wants you to do, and you will be confident that you are equipped to fulfill your purpose. In this post, Greg Laurie explains how to have a fulfilling purpose by living your life with God.
"What is the Meaning of Life?" by Greg Laurie
Matthew 6:33
Father God, You are so good to give me the skills I need and then give me the work that fulfills my purpose. Today, and every day, let me walk with You so my life has the kind of purpose and meaning that glorifies You.
Am I merely chasing happiness, or am I chasing after God in my quest for finding purpose?
In all things, seek God first, and in Him you will have everything you need for a purposeful life.
Sometimes we can lose our focus and forget that God has a unique purpose for our lives. He intentionally created you with the skills and abilities He wanted you to have so you could do the work He planned for you. This is your purpose. You can find it when you focus on God, allow Him to orchestrate your circumstances, and trust that you have exactly what you need to do the work He has prepared for you. Don’t let your doubts or anything else deter you from this work. When you do it, always putting God first, you will find your calling and the happiness that God wants for you. This is the fulfillment of your purpose.
