Why are we here? Great question. It is easy for us to question why we are here. Why is it that we exist? Many of us go day to day trying to find our purpose. Trying to figure out what it is that we should be doing with our lives. I remember years ago, after my surgery, wondering why I was still alive. I’ve always prided myself as being a good husband and father. But I felt like there was more being called of me. Actually, I knew there was more. I just didn’t know what it was God was telling me to do. Ever feel that way? I’m sure most of you have. You might be feeling that way now.
Here’s what I know. This is what I fully believe. We are all created by God. We are all created with a purpose from him. Not only that, we are all created with a purpose “for” him. Read that again. Created with a purpose for him. And I believe that our purpose is to serve him. The trick is to find out how to fulfill that purpose. It’s easy to get lost searching for that. It’s easy to get stuck going round and round “trying” to figure it out. But, finding your purpose might be easier than you realize. You have to do one thing to move in that direction. And that one thing is this: Search for God. That’s it. Let me explain.
If we put God first in all that we do, he will show us what it is he wants us to do. He will reveal it to us. But first, he wants an intimate relationship with us. It doesn’t matter whether you are a cashier at a store. Or if you are a teacher in a school. Or maybe you own a business. God will have you where he wants you if you seek him first. He will use you to show his glory, wherever you are, if you do that. He will bring out your greatness. He will bring out your talents. So start by praying to him to draw closer to him. Start by seeking him in all that you do. Do that, and watch what he does with your life. It will be amazing. It will be glorious. It will be beautiful. No matter where he uses you, your purpose will be to fulfill what he has for you. And that is awesome.
