What is the purpose of your life? Why are you on this heart? (in 4.35 min)
The search for the purpose of living
has intrigued humans for thousands of years.
And to find the answer
we have formulated questions like
What do I want to be?
What should I do with my life?
What are my goals?
What are my dreams?
What are my desires?
But focusing on ourselves
will never reveal the purpose of our life,
because your life is not about you!
The purpose of your life exceeds by far your own achievements.
It is even bigger than your career
It is bigger than your job.
It is even bigger than your owns dreams and deepest desires.
if you want to know why you are here on this planet,
you need to start with God.
because you were born because of his will
and you were born for his purposes.
in the beginning of the video you have read this verse:
analyze it ..
it says literally that everything, in heaven and on earth
visible and invisible
It all began in Him, and for his purposes.
To understand the purpose of our lives, we must first realize
that it is necessary to make a change in our attitude.
To realize that I exist for God
and not that God exist for me.
For example:
this phone, I can use it as a paperweight
and it works fine!
also, If i want
I can use it as a stone, and it will work too.
I can also use it to level a chair or a table where it is needed,
and it will work as well.
however, in either case
Did I use the full capacity of this device?
no, I am wasting a lot of capacity and purpose compelled!
for which it was specifically designed.
And the same can happen with our lives!
We might spend our whole lives doing something
for which 'we are good at'
but to miss the very purpose for which
God have created us
Many of us have thought for a long time
that God is like a genie of the wonderful lamp.
Who exists to fulfill my desires
when I repeat the magic words.
But this idea is false, unnatural, and is doomed to fail!
Because we are the ones that exist for God,
and not the other way around!
and life is about to be used for his purposes,
and not about using him for our purposes.
And this is a blessing because his plans are way higher and better than any plan I can imagine
The first step to know the purpose of your life,
is to realize that You exist for God
And until you may recognize this,
your life is meaningless.
An atheist young man wrote once:
"I feel like a failure, because I try to be something,
but I do not know what it is.
I have only learned to live solving with what is necessary every day.
Someday, if I find my purpose,
I will feel as if I start to live.
The worst tragedy is not to die
but to live without purpose.
