Focusing on Life's Purpose

When I am aware of a purpose, it makes me more focused. Life isn’t just random. The little things I do fit into a bigger plan. Even if I’m not sure exactly what that plan is, I know God does and that adds more significance to everything.

And believing God loves me is probably the biggest thing of all. It’s hard, because I don’t think I always believe it myself. But when I realize God loves me unconditionally,it saves me from always trying to earn acceptance from other people. I think I can be more useful and less needy as a result.

If this is new to you, try it on. Try on the thought that God loves you—even the things about you that you hate. How would that change how you think about yourself? And if He made you with a purpose, wouldn’t you want to find out what that was? You owe it to yourself to at least go down this road and entertain the possibility. Because if it is true,it could be the greatest news in the whole world for you.
