Do you ever wonder... why you're here? What is my purpose? The Bible has a lot to say about this, knowing your purpose gives your life meaning, simplicity, focus, motivation and prepares you for eternity.
“For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,
rank after rank of angels-
everything got started in Him and finds his purpose in Him."
Colossians 1:16 The Message
Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end;
attention to God leads us out
into the open, into a spacious, free life.
Romans 8:6 The Message
Jesus said “Self-help is no help at all.
Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.”
Matthew 16:25
It’s in Christ we find out who we are
and what we are living for.
Ephesians 1:11
When we get to know who God is, we get to know who we are; who God created us to be. The more we know of Him, the more we will know of yourselves.
This world is not our home;
we are looking forward to our everlasting home in heaven.
Hebrews 13:14 LB
How exciting is that, knowing we have a home in heaven, an eternal life to live! Finding out who we are is not short-sighted, but a long term plan.
Prayer:
Lord, I am ready to find my purpose!
I want meaning in my life!
I want simplicity and focus and motivation!
Lord, I am ready to find me in You!
As I continue to seek You,
I pray that you will help me to find You... and me.
~Amen.
