Purpose in Life

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

People in the world today desperately desire purpose in their lives. The success of such a book as The Purpose-Driven Life and other related material is just one piece of evidence for this. As people of faith, we have a purpose. Our purpose is to follow God wherever He leads us. In Christ, everyone has a purpose; every event has meaning; this life is moving forward towards ultimate fulfillment in the life to come.

Former U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold once wrote -- “Destiny is something not to be desired and not to be avoided. It is a mystery not contrary to reason, for it implies that the world, and the course of human history, have meaning.”
