Finding True Purpose in Life

People are so afraid of dying, but are they really living?.- Modern countries have “won” life. Anything you could possibly want is a button click away. Yet medicine cabinets are fuller than ever, and depression and suicide are on the rise. Is this really how it’s supposed to be? - We all know we should eat healthy, exercise, work hard, and be educated but why? Let me know if these sound familiar. Depressed? Well you don’t have the same opportunities as other people. Pissed off? Well you need this new thing to make it better. Kids? Send me to the best college so they will be guaranteed to be successful. Lazy? Take this caffeine loaded “energy drink” Why do you do what you do on a daily basis? Is there a purpose and goals behind it? Do you constantly question and stress test what you are doing, or do you just go with the flow and let life blow you where it may? If the answer is the latter, chances are you will be blown into a nihilistic hedonistic lifestyle that always leads to destruction. Many of the things that we see today aren’t bad in and of themselves, but without properly defining what quality living is to you and how to achieve it are you really living? Unfortunately modern society has attempted to replace things that create quality life namely God. We have become so focused on our own successes and personal pursuits that we forget about the original creator and author of life. The one who designed it in the first place and has a total understanding of what fulfills a person. I encourage you to take some time this week and allow God to show you what he has for your life. You may be surprised where He takes you! • • • • • •
