Sharpening the Focus
Man, made in the image of God, has a purpose—to be in relationship to God, who is there.
Francis Schaeffer
Each person was created for a particular purpose
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
Because each person has a particular purpose in life, God planned specific good works for each individual which would both serve His purposes and provide true satisfaction in life. Seeking to please Him first produces personal satisfaction as a byproduct from this pursuit of God. Seeking satisfaction apart from Him is the path to frustration and futility.
So how do you find your purpose?
Don’t despair about your life’s focus or purpose. Walk faithfully in the light God has given you today, trusting that more light will be revealed as it is needed.
