Finding Purpose In Life

Hey, have you ever thought about finding purpose in your life?
So had I. For years, over and over I kept asking about the real purpose in my life.
Oh, to shorten the story, let me show you the site I found a little while ago. It answered me clearly how one could ask for finding purpose in their lives for sure.

Here's the article..

Imagine for a moment that you’re building a house. You hire a building contractor, but he never consults the blueprints drawn up by your architect, your designer. He works without a plan. An unwise move–because the contractor needs to know where to lay the foundation, erect the walls and place the windows. Only then will the home look the way it was intended.

The same can be said of life. How can we try to build our life without first consulting the great architect of life, the one who created us for a wonderful purpose? The Bible says, “We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Romans 8:28).

Furthermore, there is more to be gained by living according to God’s plan. True fulfillment and meaning in life is found in God. That’s why the philosopher St. Augustine said centuries ago, “You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you.”

By asking Jesus–God’s son–to be the biggest part of your life, you will discover the very purpose for which God created you. There is no thing and no one else who can do this–no religion, no philosophy, no person. Just Jesus. He said of himself, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).


This site offers so many answers for questions one most ever questioned about in their lives. So if you liked this article, or you keep asking about something you haven't known in your life, just read the other questions in life here.
