His Purpose

From: Today God Is First - Os Hillman Ministries

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know well the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your well-being not for woe; plans for a future full of hope!"

If you are going to discover how God wants to use your life and work, you must know why you were created. First and foremost, God created you to know Him and to have an intimate relationship with Him. In fact, God says that if a man is going to boast about anything in life, "boast about this: that he understands and knows Me." (Jeremiah 9:24)

Establishing a relationship with God is vital to understanding your purpose. If you don't have this relationship with God, you will seek to fulfill your purpose out of wrong motives; such as fear, insecurity, money, relationships, guilt or a self-serving attitude.

God's desire is for you to be motivated out of love for Him and to desire to worship Him in all that you do. As you develop your relationship with God, He will begin to reveal His purpose for your life.
