Learn what God's Purpose is for your life.
Description
The Book The Purpose Driven Life answers the following: What on earth am I here for? – The most important question you can ask in life is, what is my purpose? Why am I here? What on earth am I here for? But it’s not about you. If you want to know why you were put on this planet you’ve got to look at God, not yourself. Focusing on yourself will never reveal your life’s purpose. It’s the wrong starting point.
Colossians 1:16
- "For everything – absolutely everything – above and below, visible and invisible everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him." You were made by God, and you were made for God. Until you figure that out life will not make sense. You were not put on this earth for your own satisfaction. You were not put on this earth for your own fulfillment. You were not put on this earth for your own happiness. God made you for His purposes.
God has never created anything without a purpose. Every rock, plant, animal and human being He made for a purpose. If your heart is beating it means God has a purpose for your life. How do you discover that purpose? Take a journey with purpose to discover life’s most important question.
The purpose of your life is greater than your own personal fulfillment, your career, or even your happiness. To know why you exist, you must first know the One who created you and the five purposes for which you were created.
Written in a captivating devotional style, The Purpose Driven Life features 40 short, life-changing chapters that reveal God’s purpose for your life. Make the rest of your life the best of your life and start right now.
