Without God, life doesn't make sense.

Colossians 1:16b

People think that the way to know the meaning and the purpose of your life depend on who you are as a person. Your dreams and aspirations, your happiness.

I've learnt that isn't necessarily the case. I can look at a blank envelope, and although I could tell you that envelopes are for sending information, i couldnt tell you what the specific envelope is intended for. Life is like that.

You could speculate that the blank envelope will contain a birthday invitation, but you don't know for sure. You could tell me you have no idea, and we'd both be clueless, you could make something up, and we'd be believing a lie, or we could ask the sender and we'd both have a revelation.

We can't focus on ourselves to know our purpose. We could become successful and achieve all our purposes and desires, but still miss what God's purpose for our life. God had a purpose for us long before we ever appeared on the scene. Let God work his purpose through you, become who God wants you to be.

We must focus on the Creator, have a personal relationship with Him and seek His word.



Lord, help us to seek you to know our life's purpose. Help us to drown out the voices that say it's all about us. Be with us as we live for You,
We love you,
Amen
