When you think about God's purpose for your life, what actually comes to mind? There's such a broad perspective on this because some people have a clear and distinct idea on what they believe their purpose is. And then there are those who don't have any idea at all. Without purpose, life has no meaning. Isaiah tells us that "I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my labor and strength in vain and for nothing" (Isaiah 49:4). And Ephesians 2:10 (NLT): "For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago". Most people lack purpose and meaning because they have no relationship with God. Finding your purpose begins with God. Today would be a good day to determine if you are committed to fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. This episode talks about this topic more in depth. "What is God's Purpose For Your Life"?
