God’s purpose for you
Is your purpose aligned with God’s purpose? You cannot answer this until you know what His purpose is. We have all sorts of ideas about what our purpose in life should be. We may think that simply setting goals and achieving them is our purpose. We may think that caring for our families is our main purpose. We can have the highest and most noble goals in life possible and still miss God's purpose for our lives. The Lord makes it very clear to us what He desires for us. He has not left us in the dark on this point. He has one overarching purpose for each Christian: to form the image of Christ in us. That is the bedrock of our purpose. If we are not building on that, making that our main purpose and aim in life, it matters not what else we "accomplish." The world is never going to applaud our becoming more and more like Jesus. The world is after its own set of goals, its reason for being, its purpose. And the ways of the world should not be the ways of the Christian.
