The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
Psalm 138:8
Finding our purpose in life isn't easy. Some have searched their entire lives for that one special purpose for their existence, and are still searching. Guess what? Perhaps it's time to stop spending so much time searching and start asking God to show us.
God has promised that He has plans for us. God has promised that He will continue to work in us until His purposes for us are fulfilled. So why do we expend so much time, effort, frustration, and anxiety stressing over finding the purpose God has for us?
Our purpose may not be something grandiose like winning some "prestigious" award or changing the world. God's purpose for us might be something more subtle, like befriending someone who is hurting, or being a true friend to someone, or sharing a smile and kindness to someone. Our purpose won't always be earth shattering. But our purpose will include instilling hope and caring in a world devoid of hope and caring.
