People spend their entire lives in search of the answer. Some look to society and self-help books for insight, but these do not hold the solution. You ask, \u201cWhere do I find the answer?\u201d I ask you to turn to the creator of life, the father of us all, as only God our father can reveal our purpose here on Earth, because \u201ceverything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,\u2026everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him\u201d (Colossians 1 vs. 16, The Message).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To know God\u2019s purpose for our life means we need to know God. God loves each and every one of us and desires to have a relationship with us. He yearns to show us his purpose and plan for our life. \u201cFor I know the plans I have for you, \u201cdeclares the Lord, \u201cplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future\u201d (Jeremiah 29 vs. 11, NIV). When you discover God\u2019s plan and purpose for your life, you will experience abundant life, peace, hope, joy and contentment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand and know God\u2019s plans for your life, you must first accept his son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. \u201cFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life\u201d (John 3 vs. 16, KJV). God loved us so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross at Calvary for all humanity, enabling us to be willing partakers in eternal life with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please join us as we seek, find and fulfill God\u2019s purpose and plan for our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the ultimate question we all ask ourselves daily, and it has puzzled individuals for thousands of years.
