Purpose has been called the key ingredient in happiness. In our fast-paced, hurried-up world, few of us have the time to think about why we are put on earth – and the result can be catastrophic:
“The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost, to be everywhere is to be nowhere.” -Michael de Montague
“The ability to maintain a sense of purpose in life is a significant factor in protecting a person from a decrease in quality of life, and helps to avoid the onset of depression. Individuals reporting no meaningful understanding of their purpose are 6 times more likely to experience suicidal thoughts.” -US National Institute of Health
Do I know my purpose? Does my life have meaning and significance? At the end of the day do I feel fulfilled, or do I feel…empty?
If this is a problem in your life, Jesus has a simple answer in John, chapter 6.
